Thai drivers can't wait to fill up at Malaysian gas station:

RON95 = RM2.05 = THB16.33 

Diesel = RM2.15 = THB17.12

Btw Malaysia doesn't mix their gasoline and diesel with ethanol. It's pure gasoline and diesel all the way.

f***ing hell, too bad I live far away from Malaysia. Not even for the price, my car is dying to get some RON98, which sadly is unavailable here.

I've seen RON99 sold in some selected stations in Malaysia. Some Thai people with entrepreneurship skills would actually modify their cars/pickup to enable them to basically fill up much more gasoline/diesel for the purpose of smuggling back to Thailand and reselling them.

And Singaporean drivers have been complaining about not being able to sample some of those fine cheap Msian fuel for 2 years since the border closure. They would literally hump their cars to get every last bit in:

That's quite a fuel guzzler there...

But the feeling you get when you floor it... makes you forget you just emptied your wallet at the gas pumpÂ đŸ˜‹

I know and missed that feeling since I myself drive one with a turbo engine + dual clutch transmission but since gas prices have gone up so much I hardly floor it anymore

As someone who lives very close to the border here in the "RESTIVE" South let me assure you that using fuel smuggled over the boarder is not a very wise move in general terms, primarily due to the quality when it is sold. Rust, water, and other unidentifiable crap is usually included at no extra cost (initially).

Have informed the wife to never buy it for the good car or the big bikes as I  well past sick of cleaning out clogged fuel delivery systems.

Pity that...

Thank You Very much Thailand for opening  the border in line with the actions by the Malaysian authorities. As I have said earlier in another posts......it is still a mouse trap for us to cross the border now with your "tricky" Test & Go scheme where any traveler entering the Kingdom now is a lame duck. I will not cross the border unless you scrap the Post arrival testing completely. I don't mind doing a pre-arrival test, as the Air lines will not accept if the PCR testing is not done........I will wait till you drop everything. Good luck to you Thailand
