BANGKOK — 13 May 2026, Thai Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Anutin Charnvirakul, on Wednesday dismissed as artificial intelligence-generated a viral audio clip claiming the government planned to reopen border crossings with Cambodia, insisting that no crossings would be reopened.
Key facts
- Speaking at 11:00 at Military Air Terminal 2, Wing 6 Airport in Bangkok’s Don Mueang district, Anutin said the clip circulating on social media was fabricated.
- Anutin was responding to questions about tensions between Thailand and Cambodia following Thailand’s cancellation of the 2001 memorandum of understanding, commonly known as MOU 44, concerning overlapping maritime claims.
- Asked about posts by Cambodian Senate President, Hun Sen, urging Phnom Penh not to hold further bilateral negotiations with Thailand on maritime disputes, Anutin said the cancellation of MOU 44 was undertaken solely by Thailand
- The methods being used are becoming more inappropriate every day
Summary
Speaking at 11:00 at Military Air Terminal 2, Wing 6 Airport in Bangkok’s Don Mueang district, Anutin said the clip circulating on social media was fabricated.
“That is clearly AI. I do not speak that well,” Anutin told reporters. “Do not believe it. The methods being used are becoming more inappropriate every day. It is completely unreliable. I never said it, and there will definitely be no reopening of the border.”
