Govt won't deny oil, gas to Cambodia

Thailand has no plan to cut supply of oil and natural gas to Cambodia even though the diplomatic conflict between the two countries is escalating, Energy Minister Wannarat Channukul said on Friday.

Cambodia imported most of its energy needs from other countries.

"Thailand supplies a small amount of liquefied petroleum gas to Cambodia, only 300 tonnes a month,” Mr Wannarat said.

Thailand supplied only 10 per cent of its demand for petrol, diesel and bunker oil.

Cutting off this flow would have only minimal impact.
