The article discusses how misinformation and nationalistic ideologies are fueling anti-Myanmar sentiment in Thailand, particularly affecting Myanmar migrants. Since the 2021 military coup, millions of Myanmar citizens have fled to Thailand, resulting in a significant surge in the migrant population. However, misinformation, largely spread through social media, falsely claims that Myanmar migrants are demanding higher wages than Thai workers. These unfounded rumors contribute to xenophobia and are often amplified by key figures, such as the former deputy director of Thailand’s National Intelligence Agency, Nantiwat Samart, who shared misleading images alleging wage demands. Historical tensions between Thailand and Myanmar, dating back centuries due to past invasions, are also exploited to reinforce this negative sentiment. Analysts indicate that some elements within Thai authorities may be deliberately promoting these narratives to portray Myanmar migrants as a threat to national security, escalating prejudice and complicating the migrants’ situation. Despite these challenges, Myanmar migrants continue to fill low-paid jobs that are often undesirable to Thai citizens, while grappling with the ramifications of misinformation and hate speech.
