August 7, 2025Aug 7 Thai Fortune Teller Faces Legal Heat Over "War Prediction" That Sparked Panic Popular Thai fortune teller Plai Prai Krasip is under legal scrutiny after predicting a violent clash at the Thailand-Cambodia border, sparking public panic and event cancellations. In an August 2 interview, Plai also forecasted a new PM in November—described as a self-centred man named “P”—and warned of imminent bloodshed and diplomatic fallout. Her comments drew backlash, especially online, with critics calling them irresponsible. On August 5, two lawyers filed a complaint, accusing her of spreading false information under Section 384 of Thailand’s Criminal Code, which carries up to one month in jail or a 10,000 baht fine. Though not seeking harsh penalties, the lawyers aim to caution against making sensitive national security claims. Police are reviewing her case but have yet to question her due to her reported hospitalisation from stress.
