Pathum Thani shop offers splash of petrol to locals, free of charge
A motorcycle shop owner in Pathum Thani has generously offered free petrol to locals, leading to long queues of motorbikes stretching over 500 metres. This gesture, not tied to any festival or condition, aims to alleviate financial burdens.
Residents, motorcycle taxi drivers, and delivery riders gathered in front of the Nuanakorn Motorcycles shop on the road alongside Klong Sam to benefit from this unique offer. The shop, located in Klong Luang district, set up three 200-litre petrol drums equipped with pumps to distribute free 95-octane petrol.
The shop owner, Paisal Thipmongkolkul, explained that this is the third consecutive year they have organised the free petrol giveaway, intended to support the community. He stressed that this initiative is part of their broader commitment to social responsibility, with various forms of community aid being offered.
“Given the current high petrol prices, which significantly strain people’s budgets, we decided to continue this activity to help reduce their expenses. We plan to hold this event annually.”
The petrol giveaway has received particularly positive feedback from the public. Yesterday, they distributed 600 litres of petrol, helping fuel up at least 300 motorbikes, reported KhaoSod.
Motorcycle users expressed their gratitude, acknowledging the relief it brings in the light of the expensive petrol prices and challenging economic conditions. They unanimously appreciated the gesture, hoping the shop would continue such initiatives indefinitely.
