NARATHIWAT: The sale of smuggled subsidised petrol and diesel from Malaysia has continued openly at roadside stalls along the streets of southern Thailand, driven by the significant price disparity between the two countries.
These illicit products are in high demand, typically sold for between 28 baht (RM3.64) for a one-litre bottle and 250 baht (RM32.50) for a nine-litre can at stalls in Sungai Golok, providing substantial profits for those involved in smuggling and selling fuel meant for Malaysians.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
