During the visit, both governments are expected to sign the Terms of Reference (TOR) establishing a Joint Working Group on Water Quality Management in Boundary and Transboundary Rivers between Thailand and Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Myanmar has proposed revisions to key provisions of the TOR, raising concerns among civil society groups that the agreement would no longer require joint investigations into the sources of pollution or the preparation of joint reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;An agreement should lead to genuine cooperation and solutions, not prolong the problem,&#8221; Mr Niwat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>He said the amendments appeared to be an attempt by Myanmar to shield itself from scrutiny. Instead of conducting joint investigations, each side would collect and analyse its own data separately before comparing results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If Myanmar investigates by itself, we already know what will happen. The findings may downplay the facts and will not contribute to solving the problem. Instead, they could simply delay meaningful action,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Niwat urged the Thai government to maintain the original principles contained in the draft TOR proposed by civil society organisations, arguing that cooperation should involve jointly identifying the causes of pollution and agreeing on scientific findings rather than allowing the party responsible for the pollution to investigate itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If this TOR is signed in its current form, the information needed to solve the problem will be buried even further. Thailand must be extremely cautious,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He warned that the revised agreement could provide political cover for Myanmar authorities and mining interests to continue operating while claiming that investigations had already been carried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>&#8220;If this continues, both Myanmar and China will be able to use it as an excuse. Instead of opening the door to solving the problem, it opens the door for the other side to legitimise its actions,&#8221; Mr Niwat said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that China could not remain detached from the issue because it is a major beneficiary of the mineral supply chains linked to upstream mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>&#8220;China has never shown sincere and serious cooperation in addressing pollution from mining operations run by Chinese investors. Instead of strengthening cooperation, this process risks allowing China to distance itself from responsibility while giving Myanmar an excuse to continue mining,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Niwat said public frustration towards China was growing rapidly and warned that negative public sentiment could evolve into broader anti-China campaigns if the issue remained unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pianporn Deetes, executive director of Rivers and Rights and secretary-general of the Hill Area and Community Development Foundation (HADF), said the draft TOR was deeply flawed because it focused almost exclusively on the Kok River, despite evidence that contamination affects several transboundary rivers.<br \/>&#8220;The facts show that pollution originating in Myanmar is affecting the Kok, Sai, Ruak, Mekong, Salween and Kraburi rivers,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8220;Limiting the agreement to Chiang Rai and Shan State will not lead to an honest assessment or meaningful solutions because the affected area extends along Thailand&#8217;s entire western and northern border, from Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son to Ranong.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms Pianporn said repeated monitoring by Thailand&#8217;s Pollution Control Department had found arsenic and mercury contamination in the Salween River in Mae Hong Son Province at levels five to six times above national standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hundreds of unregulated mining sites have emerged in the upper Salween basin, particularly in Shan State, yet they are not addressed in this TOR,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also questioned whether the proposed international agreement had been reviewed by Thailand&#8217;s Department of Treaties and Legal Affairs to ensure that it adequately protected Thailand&#8217;s national interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is not simply a bilateral issue between Thailand and Myanmar,&#8221; Ms Pianporn said. &#8220;China is one of the world&#8217;s largest importers and processors of critical minerals and rare earth elements. Reducing this issue to a bilateral matter allows those who benefit most from these mineral supply chains to avoid responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, civil society groups are scheduled to gather outside the Myanmar Consulate-General in Chiang Mai on Aug 3 to protest ahead of Min Aung Hlaing&#8217;s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants plan to deliver bottles of contaminated river water and read an open statement calling on the Myanmar junta leader to halt environmental destruction and accept responsibility for the impacts of mining-related pollution on communities and transboundary river basins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a translation of original Thai news article by Transborder News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 August, 2026, Environmental campaigners have urg<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transbordernews.in.th\/home\/?p=47223\">Read More &rarr;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47222,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258,1145,1142],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-admin","has-more-link","post-47223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-english-articles","category-1145","category-1142"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01\u0e02\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e1a<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u0e02\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e2a\u0e30\u0e17\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e31\u0e07\u0e04\u0e21\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/transbordernews.in.th\/home\/?p=47223\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"th_TH\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01\u0e02\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e1a\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u0e02\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e2a\u0e30\u0e17\u0e49\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e31\u0e07\u0e04\u0e21\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/transbordernews.in.th\/home\/?p=47223\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"\u0e2a\u0e33\u0e19\u0e31\u0e01\u0e02\u0e48\u0e32\u0e27\u0e0a\u0e32\u0e22\u0e02\u0e2d\u0e1a : Transborder News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newstransborder\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-08-02T03:23:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-02T03:30:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/transbordernews.in.th\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/fb-www_20260802_101932_00006503474197638765378.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@khaochaikhob\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@khaochaikhob\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 \u0e19\u0e32\u0e17\u0e35\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/transbordernews.in.th\\\/home\\\/?p=47223#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/transbordernews.in.th\\\/home\\\/?p=47223\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/transbordernews.in.th\\\/home\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/0fe79b3ac057f9d9e37fd8487e391a08\"},\"headline\":\"Activists warn against &#8216;whitewashing&#8217;
