The transport operators will call off their protest after they have been informed of the result of talks between their representatives and the government, Land Transport Federation of Thailand chairman Yoo Jienyuenyongpong said on Monday evening.
Mr Yoo said that at a meeting with government representatives he had learned about the price structure and supplies of natural gas for vehicles (NGV) and understood that it was necessary for the government to increase the gas price by 2 baht per kilogramme in the next four months, or 50 satang per month, starting Jan 16.
He said the government's explanation was acceptable. The transport operators only wanted the government to consult them first before taking any measures which could affect their operations.
