Surin Audit Office Deletes Controversial Social Media Post
The Surin Provincial Office of the Auditor General deleted a social media post criticizing a Thai PBS news report on a building collapse, citing an accidental account switch.
On October 18, 2026, the Surin Provincial Office of the Auditor General (OAG) removed a post from its official Facebook page following significant public backlash. The post had been used to dispute a news report by Thai PBS regarding a building collapse incident.
According to Matichon Online, the office claimed that the post was published due to an error involving an accidental switch between personal and official accounts. The incident drew immediate attention from social media users, leading to a wave of criticism directed at the agency's official page.
For residents and visitors, this event highlights the importance of verifying information shared by government agencies on social media platforms. While the agency has addressed the incident by removing the content and providing an explanation, the situation underscores the potential for administrative errors in digital communications.
At this time, it remains to be confirmed whether any further internal investigation will be conducted by the Office of the Auditor General regarding the management of their social media accounts. No further official statements have been released regarding the specific details of the building collapse report that triggered the initial dispute.
