Ubolratana Joins PM Office to Counter Fake News

Ubolratana Thaonoi has been recruited by the Prime Minister's team to help communicate government information clearly and comprehensively, following a surge in fake news and half-truths. The Prime Minister has firmly denied allegations of receiving a 7 million baht bribe, stating he never took personal funds and that the matter is verifiable.

At 9:00 AM on October 26, 2026, at the Ministry of Interior, Ubolratana Thaonoi, from the Prime Minister's Office working group, assumed duties as assistant spokesperson to the Prime Minister's Office. She revealed that the PM's team contacted her because they wanted someone to help communicate information directly, as there is currently an abundance of fake news, fabricated stories, and half-truths.

The latest example cited by the government spokesperson was the simple fabrication that the Prime Minister accepted a bribe without any verification, even though members of parliament should know or be expected to know the proper steps for verifying information before dissemination. All of this led her to believe that her potential as a former media professional could assist with government communication.

Regarding the bribery allegation, the Prime Minister has already come out to confirm that no such account exists, he never received personal money, and it can be verified. As for whether her working style will be smooth or rough, Ubolratana stated that it is about providing complete information to the public.

When asked if the Prime Minister specifically instructed her to assist in any particular area, Ubolratana specified that it is in communications to provide complete information to the public. Additionally, she will help simplify any news that may be difficult to understand, making it as easy to grasp as possible.
