@afpfactcheck.bsky.social journalists in Bangkok report on how nationalists there are using disinformation to fuel prejudice against them
This viral video does not show India’s missile strikes on Pakistan.

Old stock photos of rescue dogs are being falsely shared by Thai users as showing a search operation in #Bangkok after a 7.7-magnitude quake struck #Myanmar and a high-rise building collapsed in the Thai capital. #EarthquakeinMyanmar

#EarthquakeinMyanmar collapsed several buildings but rumours that the country's most sacred Buddhist site has crumbled are inaccurate. The Shwedagon pagoda in Yangon in fact has not been destroyed, and the false posts have misrepresented footage of another temple.

This video shows the set and scenes from a Hollywood-style stunt performance put on every weekend at Dream World amusement park in Bangkok, Thailand -- not war crimes being committed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.

Tremors from the March 28 #EarthquakeinMyanmar flattened a Bangkok building. As rescue ops entered day 5, viral footage claimed a new survivor was found. But the video was filmed the day of the collapse. Officials also told AFP there were no new survivors on April 1.
