Anukool Pruksanusak, Deputy Government Spokesperson, has addressed the recent circulation of misinformation and manipulated images on social media concerning Thai-Cambodian relations.
He stated that certain posts have deliberately distorted facts to attract public attention, causing widespread misunderstanding, panic, and social confusion.
The Thai government, through the Anti-Fake News Centre under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, has identified 33 related news items, of which 9 have been officially confirmed as fake by relevant state agencies.
