Thailand will continue exporting oil to Laos despite rising concerns over regional energy supplies, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has confirmed, emphasizing that the country maintains strong fuel reserves and remains committed to regional cooperation.

Speaking in parliament, the prime minister clarified that Thailand has no plans to halt fuel shipments to its land-linked neighbor, dismissing speculation that exports might be suspended due to global energy tensions.

He stated clearly that Thailand continues to supply fuel to Laos under existing arrangements.

Government officials say the decision reflects both Thailand’s energy security and its longstanding economic partnership with Laos.

The two countries share close cross-border trade ties, with Thailand serving as one of the main sources of refined petroleum products for the Lao market.

Authorities have reassured lawmakers that Thailand’s domestic fuel situation remains stable.

Current stockpiles are estimated at around ninety days of supply, and conservation measures together with careful export management could extend reserves to nearly one hundred days if necessary.

The government has also urged the public and businesses to use energy efficiently in light of global market volatility.

International oil markets have been affected by heightened geopolitical tensions and concerns about shipping routes in the Middle East, developments that have increased uncertainty over fuel prices and supply chains.

Thailand refines roughly one hundred seventy million litres of fuel per day and consumes about one hundred thirty million litres domestically, leaving surplus capacity that supports exports to neighboring countries, including Laos.

Officials say maintaining these exports is important for regional stability and economic cooperation.

Border crossings between the two countries continue to handle fuel shipments under established trade procedures, with tanker trucks transporting petroleum products to Lao distribution networks.

The Thai government has indicated that it will continue monitoring global energy conditions while safeguarding domestic supply.

Officials say Thailand’s priority remains protecting national energy security while sustaining responsible trade relationships with neighboring partners.
