How this obnoxious person currently becomes the national icon of Thailand and its attacks against Cambodia is beyond me. His actions in the course of the border conflict reveal the ugliest, most reprehensible face of Thai ultra-nationalism, not least the use of raw sewage (or the intent to do so) and the playing on loud speakers of high pitch sounds directed at Khmer villagers including the elderly, pregnant women and minors. I would say that your ability to communicate directly to Thai audience in their language is one of your greatest weapons in this war through defence of truth.
I would encourage you and others as well as the Cambodian government to also target the ethnic Khmers or Khmer-speaking population in Thailand by relaying online messages to them directly. The Cambodian government should set up a specialist unit whose mission is dedicated to enlisting and galvanising the hearts and minds of these Khmer brothers and sisters in Thailand. If the Thais have managed to win them over to their side despite not sharing the same bloodline or ancestry then the possibility to win them over to the side of their actual mother land and brothers and sisters should be a much more realisable aim. Winning them over to Cambodia's side would represent half the battle won.
