Thai PBS Verify found a TikTok clip misrepresenting the words of the First Army Area commander. The clip uses authentic images but links them to false information, claiming that Lt. Gen. Ammarit Boonsuya, Commander of the First Army Area, proposed granting Thai nationality to Cambodians. He has confirmed that it has never proposed granting nationality and warns people not to fall for this fake news.

Verification found that a well-known Cambodian account published an interview with relatives of victims from the OAG building collapse during the 2025 earthquake, but distorted the translation to claim it was a mother of a missing person from the Thai–Cambodian border conflict. The video has gained over 1.5 million views.

Distorted information was detected from Cambodian media, which used an image from an incident in Lebanon in 2023 and claimed it was an attack by Thailand using white phosphorus munitions. The Royal Thai Army confirmed the use of phosphorus rounds but insisted it did not violate international law, as they were only used against military targets. Experts warn that white phosphorus is a hazardous substance which, although not classified as a chemical weapon, can cause severe harm to humans and the environment.

Fake news was detected. A media outlet circulated an old image from 2023 showing the body of a Myanmar soldier in Shan State, falsely claiming it depicted a Cambodian soldier killed in a border clash between Thailand and Cambodia. The image had previously appeared on Reddit, and there is clear evidence that it originated from an entirely unrelated incident.

The clip claiming Thailand staged people in bomb shelters is an old video and has no connection to the current Thai-Cambodian border situation.

The Swedish Embassy in Bangkok and the Royal Thai Air Force have confirmed that Sweden has NOT decided to suspend sales of Saab Gripen fighter jets to Thailand, as claimed by Cambodian media.

A viral Facebook clip showing Cambodia’s defense spokesperson apparently speaking Thai, to complain about Thai hospitals allegedly rejecting Cambodian patients, has been found to be a deepfake.

A viral Facebook post, accusing Thailand’s Acting Defence Minister Gen Nattaphon Narkphanit of rebuking reporters over questions related to Thailand denying medical assistance to Cambodians, is disinformation.

A video, claiming that China deployed DF-26 ballistic missiles to Cambodia, is an altered version of an old video, which had nothing to do with the Thai-Cambodia border situation. Thai PBS Verify, which reviews and screens news for veracity to reduce the spread of fake news, has found that the video was deliberately distorted to mislead.
