Thailand says Cambodia spread disinformation at UNHRC
Thailand strongly rejected Cambodian allegations at the UN Human Rights Council, accusing its neighbor of using the international forum to spread disinformation and deflect from its own human rights abuses.
Thailand clarified that border conflicts originated from unprovoked Cambodian attacks on Thai civilians and infrastructure, compelling Thailand to exercise its right to self-defense to protect its sovereignty and people.
Thailand defended its border barriers as strictly preventive measures for stability and safety, not territorial expansion, and urged Cambodia to sincerely honor the bilateral ceasefire agreement.

Thai government launches ฿50,000 rooftop solar subsidy for households
The Thai government launched a ฿50 billion 'Rooftop Solar for the Public' scheme, offering a ฿50,000 subsidy per household to one million residences.
This initiative aims to promote clean energy adoption and reduce household electricity bills across the country.
Key conditions include that the ฿50,000 subsidy cannot be combined with a ฿200,000 income tax deduction, and State Welfare Cardholders must forfeit their ฿315 monthly electricity subsidy for 20 years.
Registrations are open until January 31 next year, with applicants required to be Thai nationals linked to the electricity meter and install 5-10 kW systems from registered contractors.
