The escalating energy tensions in various parts of the world are starting to have widespread effects, especially as oil prices continue to rise steadily. Government agencies have indicated that maintaining oil prices at current levels may no longer be possible due to uncertainties in global oil transportation at this time.
. "Bank Sornram Nampech" from the famous Likay troupe "Sornram Nampech" has spoken out about the situation, admitting he is directly affected by the rising oil prices. He revealed that each tour by the Likay troupe requires at least 5 to 6 trucks to transport equipment, stages, and trailers. When combined with all fuel costs, the troupe's monthly oil expenses soar to around one million baht.
Additionally, if a show requires faster travel to meet performance schedules, fuel consumption increases further. Given the current situation, if oil prices continue to rise beyond what the troupe can bear, they may need to adapt to continue accepting performance bookings. One possible approach is to adjust performance fees to align with increased costs. However, Bank Sornram Nampech candidly acknowledges that raising fees could lead to fewer bookings.
