Bangkok: Thanya Thanyares, a well-known actress and TV host, has adapted to the Sufficiency Economy philosophy as a response to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, which has had global repercussions. Thanya recently shared her concerns regarding the fuel shortage that has arisen from the unrest, highlighting the cascading effects such as transportation disruptions, escalating fuel costs, and a rise in commodity prices. She expressed apprehension about how her family would manage when their fuel supply runs low, emphasizing the need for calmness despite the grim situation. Thanya also voiced her worries about her parents' travel safety and the overall security of people worldwide, acknowledging the unprecedented scale of the conflict.
According to Thai News Agency, Thanya's supplement business has also suffered due to the situation. She reported that her factory is uncertain about the availability of raw materials from international sources like the United States and India. Although the costs have not yet risen, Thanya anticipates that adjustments will be inevitable. With enough stock to last 1-2 months, she remains uncertain about future supply lines, fearing that her business could come to a halt if shipments cease. In response, Thanya has decided to shift towards a self-sufficient lifestyle, promoting frugality and mindfulness. She emphasizes the unpredictability of the future, which grows more concerning each day, and stresses the importance of safety and support for relevant agencies tackling these challenges.
