Bangkok: OR collaborates with the Ministry of Commerce to inspect and uphold fair trade practices. Mr. Witiyakorn Maneenet, Director-General of the Department of Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce, led the opening ceremony of the trade fairness inspection activity during the New Year festival 2026 at the PTT Station, Bangkok-Vibhavadi Seer branch.

This initiative aims to protect consumer rights during the New Year holiday season, a period of high travel volume. The cooperation between public and private sectors aims to enhance consumer protection and establish tangible standards of fair trade.

OR is committed to supporting government operations by emphasizing service standards, the accuracy of fuel quantity and quality, and customer convenience and safety.
