If you want to see the real truth about Thailand, here it is.

🚨 BREAKING: CONGRESS INVESTIGATES THAILAND AFTER NEXT NEWS REPORT — ALLY CAUGHT DOUBLE-CROSSING TRUMP WITH CHINA 🚨
The story is exploding out of Washington and Southeast Asia tonight. Because of our reporting here at Next News Network, a congressional team is now investigating Thailand’s repeated violations of President Trump’s ceasefire order with Cambodia.
But that’s not all — the very nation that calls itself America’s ally is double-crossing Trump and the United States. Thailand has been exposed for cutting major arms deals behind our backs — submarines with China, and fighter jets with Sweden — even as they pretend to honor peace.
This investigation comes after weeks of exclusive coverage of my colleague Michael B. Alfaro’s dangerous mission to the Cambodia–Thailand border, where he documented families trapped behind barbed wire, children displaced, and 18 Cambodian soldiers still being held captive by Thai forces in direct violation of Trump’s agreement.
Michael’s work isn’t new to the world stage. During the catastrophic Laos dam collapse, his role in rescuing a starving baby trapped for nearly two weeks made international headlines in Metro UK and the Daily Mail. Even the U.S. Embassy in Vientiane publicly recognized his courage, posting photos of him alongside international rescue teams.
Now, that same courage is once again exposing a betrayal so deep Congress can no longer look away.
📌 DefenseNews confirms Thailand has recommitted to a Chinese-built submarine deal once thought dead.
📌 The Diplomat reports Thailand’s Cabinet quietly approved changes, replacing German technology with Chinese-made engines.
📌 Reuters has revealed Sweden has agreed to sell Thailand four Saab Gripen fighter jets.
This isn’t defense business as usual. This is betrayal. Thailand accepted Trump’s ceasefire to calm the world — then turned around and went shopping for weapons with Beijing and Stockholm.
👉 This is why Thailand blacklisted Michael and me. This is why smear campaigns are flying. Because the truth we’ve exposed — verified by international press and now under congressional review — proves Thailand is preparing for escalation, not peace.
The same courage that saved a baby in Laos is now shaking the halls of Congress. And the world is watching to see if America will hold Thailand accountable before this deception sparks a wider war.
Stay tuned — this story is only getting bigger.

You know why you don’t see any Thai villagers in this clip?
Because it’s not Thai land. No Thai villagers live here.
Only Cambodians defending their own homes.
Barbed wire doesn’t make land yours. History, maps, and people do.

Cambodia continues to urge Thailand to promptly release and return the 18 remaining captured soldiers in accordance with international humanitarian law.
Clutching his photograph, 70-year-old Yann Yong made a heartfelt appeal to authorities and the international community for the release of her son, who is being held “hostage” by Thai military forces.

The Thai side’s accusation that Cambodia has laid new mines is an insult to the efforts of all parties involved in clearing mines and unexploded ordnance in Cambodia.
As a State Party to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Anti-Personnel Mines (Ottawa Convention), Cambodia has never planted new mines. I therefore call on the Thai side to immediately stop making baseless and shameless accusations against Cambodia, including fabricating false narratives to mislead both national and international opinion on the landmine issue.
Over the past 33 years, the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) has discovered and destroyed 1,203,623 anti-personnel mines, 26,692 anti-tank mines, and 3,222,549 explosive remnants of war.
