Bangkok - Thousands of Thai truck drivers went on strike Wednesday, parking their vehicles along the nation's highways to protest high fuel prices.

"If we work we lose money, so it's better not to work," said Thongu Kongkhan, secretary-general of the Transportation Federation of Thailand.

Thongu claimed that altogether 120,000 trucks out of 700,000 operating nationwide had joined the strike on Wednesday, parking their 10-wheel and container vehicles in queues stretching up to 10 kilometres along Bang Na Trad Highway on the outskirts of Bangkok and along other major highways in Chonburi, Rayong and Nakorn Sawan provinces.
