BANGKOK Nov 26 (Reuters) - Thai oil refiner Bangchak Petroleum BCP.BK said on Thursday it planned to shut down a refining unit for 15 days in the middle of December for maintenance.

The closure would cut capacity by about 20,000 barrels per day, Vice President Watcharapong Saisuk told reporters.

Bangchak is majority-owned by the Thai Finance Ministry and state-controlled energy giant PTT PTT.BK.
