A hacker who claimed to have obtained the personal data of 55 million Thais is an army officer who appears to have acted alone, authorities said yesterday.
The Royal Thai Army says the border situation in Ranong remains under control despite some skirmishes in a Myanmar village on the other side that have prompted villagers to flee to Thailand for safety.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Sunday urged Thais to be good hosts for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit as the Apec Economic Leaders' Week (AELW) kicks off on Monday.
