The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) recently revealed that between August 29 and September 4, 2025, the Anti‑Fake News Centre (AFNC) identified a total of one point two million suspect messages, of which seven hundred and twelve required closer scrutiny. These were mainly submitted via social listening tools (six hundred and ninety‑three), with a small number received through the Line Official account (twelve) and the AFNC website (seven). Overall, one hundred and sixty‑six items needed formal verification, with six dozen cases already resolved.

The DES categorised the identified misinformation under five major themes:

• Government policies, public administration, morality, and national security: one hundred and four cases
• Health products, hazardous substances, cosmetics, and illegal goods/services: twenty cases
• Natural disasters: nine cases
• Economy: one case
• Cybercrime: thirty‑two cases

The most widely circulated falsehoods concerned Thai–Cambodian security matters and public services, with others focused on health products and natural disasters. Notably, one prominent false claim alleged that “Thailand violated the ceasefire agreement.” The DES, collaborating with the Royal Thai Army and Ministry of Defence, confirmed the claim was entirely false, reaffirming that Thailand observes the ceasefire fully under international law and remains transparent through inspections by the ASEAN Interim Observer Team, the International Committee of the Red Cross, international partners, and media outlets.

Another misleading report that gained traction was the assertion that “the Thai Parliament voted to declare war on Cambodia.” The DES consulted the House and Senate secretariats, both of which confirmed that NO such motion had EVER been debated or approved.

Other top misinformation entries included claims that farmers would receive one thousand baht per rai via a mobile app, false weather warnings about an imported storm, fabricated statements of fabricated lottery-fixing videos, and baseless health product efficacy. These fabrications, officials warned, risk sowing public misunderstanding, panic, and potential financial or data losses.

Thais are urged to remain sceptical of such content and rely only on official channels for accurate, responsible information.
