AIS, a major Thai mobile and internet provider, denies any involvement in the illegal transmission of internet signals from Thailand to Poipet, Cambodia, by one of its corporate customers.
The company asserts it is a victim of the illegal act, stating it immediately terminated the customer's service contract upon police notification and fully cooperated with authorities, upholding its strict policy against cross-border signal transmission.
Police investigations by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) revealed a server near the Cambodian border was transmitting signals to Poipet, allegedly to aid cyber scam gangs, and have implicated two other companies, VIETTEL and ALT, in the illicit activity.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
