Thai PBS Verify found the source of the false news from: Facebook.
The fake page claims to be soliciting donations for the Hataitip Fund to support the construction of walls and bunkers along the Thai–Cambodian border.
Thai PBS Verify found a Facebook page named “Hataitip Fund” (เงินทุน หทัยทิพย์) sharing an image of Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana, as well as a line of walls with the Thai flag. The page states: “We invite you to donate to the Hataitip Fund,” which is under the Chulabhorn Foundation, to jointly support the government’s essential mission of constructing walls and bunkers along the Thai–Cambodian border. This is to follow the Royal Initiative of Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana in enhancing the national security and safety of the nation and the affected people in the area.” This post was advertised through Facebook.
How to identify the fake page?
Upon verification of the page’s transparency, Thai PBS Verify found that the page was created on 27th August, 2021, under the name “Doan Huong,” but was changed to “Hataitip Fund” (เงินกองทุน หทัยทิพย์) on 29th October, 2025.
How to check the official channels before transferring donations to the Hataitip Fund?
Thai PBS Verify inquired with the Hataitip Fund, which clarified that the Fund accepts donations to support the budget, in accordance with the operational plan of the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters (RTAF HQ) and the Royal Thai Army (RTA), for the construction and renovation of various security facilities. This is in response to the Royal aspiration to enhance safety and sustainably reinforce security in border areas.
The RTAF HQ has planned the construction of patrol roads and fencing along the Thai–Cambodian border in Pong Nam Ron District, Chanthaburi Province, adjacent to Kamrieng District, Battambang Province, Cambodia. This is to enhance officials’ operational efficiency and public safety. Furthermore, the Royal Thai Army (RTA) has planned to renovate bunkers at operational bases and construct a 40-person-capacity shelter for residents in the border area to reinforce safety in vulnerable communities.
