Panic Buying Gas In Thailand

Gas pumps at a Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited station in Bangkok, Thailand, on March 15, 2026. Petroleum prices have risen in Thailand amid concerns related to the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, leading to increased buying activity. Prime Minister Auntin Chanvirakul states that the country is not facing an oil shortage and has implemented measures to reduce panic buying. The Ministry of Finance notes that Thailand's crude oil reserves can meet demand for approximately 96 days. (Photo by Matt Hunt/NurPhoto)
