BANGKOK — 8 April 2026, Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul declined to comment on several energy-related issues on Tuesday, offering only a brief reaction to questions from reporters.
Asked whether the United States–Iran two-week ceasefire signalled a positive development, Anutin responded with a nod.
When questioned about Energy Minister Ekkanat Promphan’s claim that two oil refineries had not cooperated in reducing refining margins, Anutin smiled but did not answer.
He also declined to respond when pressed on whether the refineries would be called in for further talks, as well as on a Department of Special Investigation (DSI) operation earlier in the day to inspect an oil depot in Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani, over suspected fuel stockpiling.
