Thai PBS Verify exposes fake Thai PBS interview scam

10 Sept 15:42 Key points summarised by AI

Thai PBS Verify uncovered an AI-generated investment scam using fake news websites mimicking the Bangkok Post and fabricating Thai PBS interviews to lure victims.
The fraudulent scheme promotes a fictitious platform, Flux Vexaris, promising unrealistic, risk-free returns (e.g., 6,500 baht to 250,000 baht monthly) and pressures users to transfer funds after registration.
The scam employs AI-generated images of journalist Suthichai Yoon and former Bank of Thailand governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, falsely depicting a confrontation over a secret AI investment platform.
Thai PBS Verify urges the public to verify website URLs, be wary of unrealistic wealth promises, confirm information through official channels, and never provide personal data or transfer money to suspicious sites.

Lamphun in a New Light

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
