I found a PTT gas station in Pranbruri that sell's Benzine, most Thai Gas Station's only sell Gasohol which is a blend of Benzine and Ethanol.

Benzine is from a yellow pump

Benzene is a Thai term for gasoline / petrol. Benzene is an additive to gasoline. What you get at the yellow pump is straight gasoline of 95 octane rating, which will have Benzene in it.

All Caltex have it. Shell used to but I think no longer. Chevron....I'll wait for Nereus to confirm?... but I could be thinking of Esso if there's any left. Pete

Not knowing about Chevron? MOST Caltex outlets have it. Keep away from Shell, as it is Gasahol under their own name of V- Power Nitro. (95 octane) And not all pumps are yellow, just to confuse the issue.
