In related news, a motorcycle shop owner in Pathum Thani 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 Khlong Sam to benefit from this unique offer. The shop, located in Khlong Luang district, set up three 200-litre petrol drums equipped with pumps to distribute free 95-octane petrol. The shop owner explained that this is the third consecutive year he has organised the free petrol giveaway, intended to support the community.
