The Department of Land Transport is consulting on draft rules that would bar combustion-engine three-wheel taxis (tuk-tuks) in inner Bangkok unless they are electric or run only during set hours. Public comment closes 27 August 2026. Only 9.6% of the roughly 8,631 registered tuk-tuks are EVs, so about 7,800 would need to switch. KResearch suggests state support such as price-difference subsidies, low-interest loans and buy-back or conversion schemes, possibly linked to the 200 billion baht loan. Operators who run LPG tuk-tuks in the old-town and tourist areas should watch the draft and submit comments if affected.
