Official Warning Issued Regarding Fake Compensation Claims in Saraburi
Thai authorities have alerted the public to fraudulent information circulating about government compensation payments in Saraburi province.
The Thailand Government Public Relations Department has issued an official warning regarding a misinformation campaign currently circulating online. The fake reports claim that residents in five specific districts of Saraburi province are eligible to apply for a 9,000-baht compensation payment via the 'Tang Rath' (Government) application between October 2 and October 15, 2026.
Authorities have explicitly clarified that this information is false. There is no such compensation program currently in effect for these districts, and the claims regarding the application process through the official government app are fraudulent.
For residents and visitors in the area, this serves as a reminder to exercise caution regarding financial information shared on social media. Engaging with unverified links or providing personal data to unauthorized platforms can lead to identity theft or financial fraud. It is essential to rely solely on official government channels for information regarding public services or financial assistance.
At this time, no official government compensation scheme matching these details has been announced. Individuals are advised to verify any news regarding government benefits directly through the official websites of the relevant provincial authorities or the central government portal. If you encounter these fraudulent messages, do not share them or provide any personal information.
