Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been saved by The Anti-Fake News Centre, who claimed social media posts that north floodwater did not flow into the Mekong River were “fake information”.
It was responding to a tumult in a social media pot over comment made by Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Tuesday regarding the flood situation in Northern Thailand.
Officers at the center claimed on Friday that they had vetted the information with the Office of the National Water Resources. In Chiang Mai, rainwater will eventually move into the Ping River and Tak province’s Bhumibol Dam, while Chiang Rai’s finally enters the Mekong.
The article read,” Fake information: Northern rainwater did not flow into the Mekong River, but instead entered the Chao Phraya River, leaving Bangkok and the central location flooded,” read the center’s release.
To combat all false news, from politics to additional problems, the center was established under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society.
The most recent controversy began with a shocking statement made by the excellent minister.
When Ms. Paetongtarn claimed that the Bhumibol Dam and the Mekong may receive rainwater, she raised brow. During a lecture at Government House on Tuesday, she did not name the valley, but it was obvious she was speaking about the Ping, which overflowed and inundated Chiang Mai.
” Lamphun and Lampang will receive rainwater from Chiang Mai.” However, because the floodwater will move on to the Bhumibol dam and the Mekong River, too, there wo n’t be significant flooding, she said.

Because the Ping is a river of the Chao Phraya River, never the Mekong, that was enough to take the online nitpickers racing to their laptops.
Voice TV, however, on Thursday countered critics by offering a comprehensive description in army of the prime minister.
The internet store founded by Ms Paetongtarn’s nephew turned to Chuchoke Aryupong, a legal engineering professor at Chiang Mai University, for an argument.
According to the website journalist, rainwater from the Chiang Mai regions of Chai Prakarn, Mae Ai, and Fang reportedly poured into the Kok River in Chiang Rai and later into the Mekong in Chiang Saen area. Water that flows from the Ping district ended up at the Bhumibol reservoir in Tak.
” The remark]made by the prime minister ] intended to present an overview that may have caused miscommunication”, it added in a blog on its X bill.
