Trade plan recommends more US gas
Bangkok Post
|May 17, 2025
Thailand is pushing ahead with a plan to import more liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US under the Alaska LNG Project, which aims to enhance national energy security.
The move, which requires negotiations between Thai and US energy firms, is under the spotlight after the Thai government last month suggested buying more LNG from the US to ease the trade imbalance between the two countries.
Thailand's trade surplus with America is a key reason for US President Donald Trump's decision to slap a 36% reciprocal tariff on Thai imports.
"We are seeking an opportunity to invest in natural gas production to enhance national energy security and prepare Thailand to become an LNG trading hub in Southeast Asia," said Prasert Sinsukprasert, energy permanent secretary.
