An old video of a car driving through a layer of sleet spread online alongside a false claim that Thailand had experienced its first snowfall.

The original video was taken in 2022 after a hailstorm left a thin layer of frost on roads, and there have never been any credible reports of snow in Thailand .

The Thai Meteorological Department said January 20, 2025 that weather conditions in the northern and northeastern regions would range from cold to very cold.
