Kamphaeng phet: A frustrated vendor ran out of gas and was forced to sell his goods from the back of his truck at a gas station. A strawberry wholesaler, transporting over 80,000 baht worth of strawberries from Chiang Mai, was affected by the energy crisis. He had to stop and refuel in Kamphaeng Phet, and ultimately, his orders were cancelled. Forced to sell his strawberries from the back of a truck at a gas station, he was bought up entirely by sympathetic locals.

According to Thai News Agency, the atmosphere inside the gas station in Moo 2, Ang Thong Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, was filled with numerous private cars and agricultural trucks waiting in line to refuel. Most were waiting for diesel fuel to be used in agriculture, with some people having been waiting since 2:00 AM.

A strawberry vendor who had bought strawberries in bulk from an orchard in Chiang Mai province stopped at a gas station in Kamphaeng Phet province to refuel. However, they were out of diesel fuel and had to wait for a tanker to arrive.

While waiting, the strawberry vendor called his strawberry buyer at Talad Thai market to explain that he was having a fuel problem and had stopped to refuel in Kamphaeng Phet province. However, the buyer at Talad Thai had canceled all his orders, citing that he wouldn't have enough time to deliver them. Unsure what to do, as he had to wait for the fuel truck to arrive, he informed the gas station owner. The owner, feeling sympathetic, allowed him to sell strawberries at the gas station. Many people came to buy, creating a lively atmosphere. In less than two hours, all the strawberries in his truck were sold out. The vendor expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the people of Kamphaeng Phet for their kindness and help.

At the PT gas station in Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, farmers were seen queuing up with pickup trucks loaded with large diesel tanks to refuel, overflowing the station. The gas station had implemented initial refueling restrictions: regular vehicles could have their tanks filled to the brim, while red (Max Plus) cardholders could fill up to 100 liters, and green (Max Card) cardholders to 30 liters. The farmers expressed their joy as soon as the fuel trucks arrived at the station.

Farmers in the area told reporters that the demand for fuel is extremely high in Kamphaeng Phet province due to its agricultural location. Many farmers have been queuing for fuel since midday, and some, including themselves, have even camped out since 3 PM yesterday to secure a fuel slot this morning. They are concerned that if this situation continues and fuel shortages persist while agricultural demand remains high, it will cause the prices of all goods to rise. They urge the government to urgently address this problem.

In Rayong, a Facebook user posted a video of a pickup truck and a speedboat parked at a gas station in Ban Khai district, Rayong province, waiting to refuel. The user, curious about the fluctuating fuel prices and some gas stations' restrictions on filling tanks or jerrycans to prevent hoarding, wondered if the boat owner had decided to tow the entire boat to a gas station. Upon inquiring with the owner, they received a surprising answer: "It wasn't sarcasm at all." The owner explained that towing the boat to a gas station was a normal practice because the boat's fuel tank is large, and refueling at a standard station ensures a full tank and is more convenient than carrying jerrycans to the shore. The situation was eventually resolved amicably, addressing an unusual sight for those unfamiliar with seeing boats brought to gas stations.
