Biel Pathumrat Unfazed by Losses from Inaugural Music Festival

Amnat charoen: Making its debut as a music festival organizer, popular singer Biel Pathumrat faced a significant financial setback with his "Maha Amnaat Festival" concert in his hometown. Despite the losses, Biel sees the event as a learning opportunity for future festivals. He stated, "The first event was like testing the waters to see what the audience would like and dislike. I focused on providing an exciting experience, setting up a huge stage (66-67 meters) and a massive fireworks display, which resulted in expenses ballooning to several million baht. I'm not too bothered by the losses; I consider it 'experience cost' and a way to create a memorable story to generate buzz for future events. I'm planning the second festival in January next year and aiming for a profit, as people are starting to recognize the positive image of our event." According to Thai News Agency, Biel addressed a post by his personal manager, P' Nong, which humorously suggested scamming Biel for money. Biel clarified, "P' Nong poste d it as a joke. He probably saw other people getting scammed and their managers getting rich, so he's probably jealous. But P' Nong usually posts funny things like that. There's absolutely no way we'd ever scam each other out of money. We've been together for 10 years, we're like family, we share everything. I run my own company, I have clear accounts. The trust between us is so high that scamming someone is extremely difficult." In terms of his personal life, Biel mentioned being completely single for about two years. He noted that his perspective on love has evolved with age, and his current ideal partner would be someone who shares similar values and mutual attraction, regardless of age. He metaphorically described his single status, saying, "Right now, I want to eat a clean-eating Japanese pork floss cake; I'm not ready for the hassle of mixing in sweet fillings yet," indicating a focus on his career rather than romantic endeavors.
