Gasoline prices (update from November 2018) are slightly different in depending on the resort. Pattaya cheaper, Phuket or Koh Samui more expensive. But if you go on vacation for a couple of weeks, then it doesn’t have no value. Lower price tag on samui and in pattaya photos made on the same day. You can focus on these prices.

Types of gasoline in Thailand
In Thailand, several types of fuel. There is not only gasoline (his called Gasoline / Gasoline), but also gasohol – gasoline mixed with ethanol alcohol. Gasohol are indicated in two ways: with the letter “E” (denotes Ethanol) or with the number 91-95, which is what confuses, since 91 is also denoted regular gasoline. Difference only in the background color on which this figure is written. Moreover, 91go essentially There are already 3 pieces.
The number around the letter “E” means the percentage of alcohol in clean gasoline. The more gasoline in a gashole, the more expensive it is and the more the consumption of the car is less. Normal 91st gasoline without alcohol is no longer is found. All cars and bikes in Thailand digest E10, and E20 designed for cars of the last decade. E85 only for very modern cars. But do not worry, usually always around The gas tank flap of the car or the bike says what kind of fuel is available fill, you can Thais on these inscriptions poke. Unfortunately, notation is a little different from the refueling, I explain with an example PTT.
- gasohol E20 (light green background), 91st gasoline + 20% alcohol.
- gasool 91 (green background), less commonly referred to as E10 (green background), 91y gasoline + 10% alcohol.
- gasool 95 (orange background), 95th gasoline + 10% alcohol
- E85 gasoil (lilac background) 85% alcohol.
- NGV gas (blue background). There are also LPG gas stations.
- diesel (Thai letters on a blue background).
- improved diesel (Thai letters on a gray background).
I’m always in a rented car or a bike, I flood E20 or 91 on green background (E10), normal flight. Therefore, by and large, you only need to remember these numbers. Neither gas, nor diesel, nor E85, Most likely, you will not be useful. Just in case, I’ll write lower, as indicated by regular gasoline.
