The photos are genuine and showed no signs of AI generation. The Royal Thai Army has been building the fence since late April 2026: about 1.3 kilometres long and 170 centimetres high, with plans to extend it to pillar 59 for roughly 8 kilometres in total. A Thai PBS reporter confirmed the stretch was complete while checkpoints stayed closed.
