Bangkok: The Deputy Government Spokesperson has extended gratitude to celebrities and athletes for their efforts in disseminating the facts surrounding the Thai-Cambodian border situation to an international audience. Ms. Sasikarn Wattanachan highlighted the significant role played by renowned figures in sharing information about the ongoing events along the border.
According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Atthaya Thitikul, a prominent 21-year-old Thai golfer ranked second in the world, utilized her Instagram platform to communicate in multiple languages about Cambodia’s breach of the ceasefire agreement. Her post emphasized the Thai military’s preparedness to defend its sovereignty against further violations.
In another show of solidarity, Japanese boxer Kota expressed his hopes for peace through a social media post featuring the Thai flag at Prasat Ta Kwai, the site of recent border clashes. His message conveyed prayers for the safety and health of everyone in Thailand, a country he regards as his second home.
Opal Suchata, who holds the title of Thailand’s first Miss World 2025, emphasized the importance of peace and compassion. She reminded the public that these virtues represent powerful expressions of human grace, rather than weakness or surrender.
Furthermore, the private sector has demonstrated its support for national sovereignty by displaying images of the Thai flag across digital advertising networks. This initiative, which includes prominent locations like Times Square in New York City, serves as a testament to the unity and determination of the Thai people.
Ms. Sasikarn concluded her statement by acknowledging the contributions of influencers, celebrities, and the government in conveying the truth about the border events. She called upon all Thais, including politicians, media, and the general public, to showcase the nation’s unified strength to the world.
