The Ad Hoc Centre for Thailand–Cambodia Border Situation has appointed Miss Thailand 2000 Panadda “Boom” Wongphudee as a voluntary spokesperson, tasked with combating fake news from Cambodia.

Panadda Wongphudee’s name cropped up in the media again last week after her online conflict with Palang Pracharat Ratchaburi MP Pareena Kraikupt on the smoldering issue of “rape culture” in Thailand, drawing netizens’ attention.
