Thailand has stopped supplying power to Myanmar since the 5th, causing power and oil supply disruptions in many parts of Myanmar, seriously affecting the daily lives of local people. In order to express their dissatisfaction, the Burmese people have launched protests and demanded cooperation between the governments of Myanmar and Thailand to solve the problem. The protesters also plan to submit a petition to the Myanmar military and border police, demanding a complete suspension of contacts with Thailand.

The Irrawaddy, a media outlet in Myanmar, reported that power outages in Thailand have led to a sharp increase in fuel demand and prices in border towns between Thailand and Myanmar, and some gas stations have ceased operations. The fuel demand in border towns such as Miaowadi, Payathonzu, and Tachilik has surged, and people are concerned that the government will implement a fuel rationing system. Since the power outage in Thailand, some residential areas, government agencies, hotels, and religious buildings in Miaowadi have stopped supplying power, and there have been long queues at gas stations to refuel. A resident said, "All gas stations are crowded with people. One of the PTT gas stations in Thailand stopped selling this morning. They had planned to sell until the storage tanks were exhausted, but now it has been closed and seems to be controlling sales

Although Thai National Petroleum has not completely stopped supplying fuel to Myanmar, fuel transportation has been hindered. On the morning of the 8th, the tanker was blocked at Friendship Bridge No.2, further exacerbating the local fuel shortage. Due to supply restrictions, the fuel price in Myawadi has increased from 3000 kyats per liter before the supply was cut off to 3370 kyats and is still rising. At the same time, fuel prices in the Daqili district have skyrocketed from 30 baht per liter last week to 80 baht, and fuel prices in the Paya Tong group have also risen from 32 baht per liter to 60 baht per liter.

Faced with the dual impact of power outages and fuel shortages, the Myanmar Chamber of Commerce is also feeling anxious. The representative of the Chamber of Commerce stated that the interruption of power supply not only affects the daily lives of the people, but also has a serious impact on commercial activities in border areas. Many enterprises are unable to operate normally, and border trade has almost come to a standstill. The Chamber of Commerce calls on the Myanmar government to negotiate with the Thai government as soon as possible to restore power supply and ensure smooth fuel transportation. The Chamber of Commerce also suggests that the government take measures to stabilize fuel prices and avoid further exacerbating public dissatisfaction.
