Important Notice: Fuel Situation Update

Published on 22 March 2026, this notice explains how fuel supply disruption could affect travel arrangements and outlines Khao Sok Travel's response at that time.

For travellers visiting Cheow Lan Lake, the notice highlighted the possibility of changes to transport and tour arrangements as diesel supplies came under pressure. It described the situation in March 2026 rather than providing a current travel advisory.

Global supply disruption affecting transportation

In March 2026, international fuel supply disruption and pressure on diesel availability raised concerns about possible effects on transportation and travel services in some areas.

The disruption was linked to conflict in the Middle East involving Iran, Israel and the United States. At the time of this notice, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz had been severely restricted for more than three weeks, affecting international oil transport and supplies reaching Thailand.

Khao Sok Travel's response was to monitor the situation closely and keep tour programs running as smoothly as possible, making minor adjustments where necessary to respond to local conditions.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support during the disruption.
