The Deputy Minister of Digital Economy and Society has ordered the Anti-Fake News Center (AFNC) to block fake news about the “Thai Chuey Thai Plus (60/40)” project, warning the public to follow the 4 No's principle and be wary of fake SMS and links used to trick people into registering.
On 26 May 2026, Ms. Nan Boonthida Somchai, Deputy Minister of Digital Economy and Society, revealed that Mr. Chaichon Chidchob, Minister of Digital Economy and Society, has instructed to monitor, investigate, and watch for criminals impersonating the “Thai Chuey Thai Plus (60/40)” registration as a means to commit online crimes. She ordered the Anti-Fake News Center (AFNC) to take proactive measures to closely track, verify, and monitor such fraudulent impersonations.
According to AFNC's investigations through various channels up to 25 May 2026,
there were 327,346 messages related to the “Thai Chuey Thai Plus (60/40)” project. AFNC integrated data with government agencies to verify these messages, confirming 39 cases: 20 fake news, 3 distorted news, and 16 genuine reports.
Therefore, the public is warned to be cautious of fake news that could cause misunderstanding or confusion. Sharing or spreading such information could have widespread social impact, including financial losses and personal data breaches.
“The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society prioritizes citizens' safety in registering for the “Thai Chuey Thai Plus (60/40)” project and urges everyone to follow the '4 No's' principle: 1. Do not click links, 2. Do not believe, 3. Do not rush, and 4. Do not transfer money. Registration can only be done through the “Pao Tang” app. Vendors who previously joined the Khon La Khrueng Plus program can confirm their rights via the “Tung Ngern” app. New vendors interested in joining must apply at any Krungthai Bank branch. Government agencies will never send SMS or links to register for the project,” the Deputy Minister said.
