Regarding False Information from the Leader of A Thai Extremist Group
April 5, 2026
Q1: Is the information claiming that the Bodyguard Headquarters (BHQ) forces had secretly entered Thailand to spy, cause destruction, and sabotage true?
A: The claim made by Veera Somkwamkid, which has been disseminated by some media outlets, alleging that Cambodia’s Bodyguard Headquarters (BHQ) forces had secretly entered Thailand to spy, cause destruction, and sabotage, is fabricated and constitutes a baseless defamation with no supporting evidence at all. The dissemination of such false information could create confusion and negatively affect relations between the two countries.
Q2: What is Cambodia’s stance regarding these accusations and the dissemination of false information?
A: Cambodia firmly rejects these baseless accusations and continues to support the resolution of issues through peaceful means via dialogue, diplomatic mechanisms in accordance with conventions, treaties, and principles of international law. Cambodian forces have strictly respected all agreements, including the outcomes of the 3rd Special Meeting of the Cambodia-Thailand General Border Committee (GBC) of 27 December 2025, in order to maintain lasting peace and stability along the border. At the same time, Cambodia calls on all relevant parties and media outlets to exercise responsibility in verifying information prior to dissemination, in order to avoid creating unnecessary fear and tension.
Q3: While border issues remain sensitive, how important is the dissemination of information?
A: In this sensitive situation, the dissemination of information is not merely about sharing true information; the media also plays a crucial role in managing the border situation. True information from clear, reliable, and properly verified sources can help enhance public understanding. Conversely, the dissemination of false information or information from unclear sources without verification can act as a catalyst for escalating tensions and undermining the process of peaceful dialogue. Therefore, the dissemination of information must be based on facts and responsibility in order to support the maintenance of stability and peaceful resolution.
