This gambling game is mainly found in the Andaman region, based on another similar board in Thailand called Namtao Pu Pla in Thai (means Calabash, Crab and fish).

Wow, good job army and police.  That is 27 and that goes into 8810 326 times.  It is a small step up of from the over 70's bridge syndicate busted up in Pattaya a few years back.

I suppose if they confiscate and use the money, they regard it as a worthwhile days effort.

With the RTP liking 10 to 1 odds they needed 270 police to bust this game of cards of up. A good use of resources?

8,000 baht? either these are the poorest gambles in the world of

they have been tipped off by someone in the know-how....

Barely penny ante for the whiskey drinking, 100 decibel, Colorado Thai Ladies Poker Social we would have at our house in Fort Collins.  Of course, us guys were in a room down the hall attending the THC, Thai Husbands Club, over good wine and stimulating conversation.  Miss those guys...

Pathetic bullying and abuse of power by non elected thugs.

The police and soldiers in Australia are unelected.

Does that make them all thugs as well?

Hey colleague, how much money did you confiscated? 

 

About 200k THB

 

Ok, good, let's report that we found 8810 THB. That's a nice number for today's bust.

Do the the Army exercise civil power and control the apparatus of the state and are they actively involved in curtailing peoples basic freedom such as the right to demonstrate. Do they try and run the bus service. Do they shoot people in the streets?

No they don't in Australia....and I have seen no personal evidence of it in Isaan either.

However the various Australian Sate and Territory governments can, and  do, enact legislation to curtail peoples freedom that is then enforced by the police. Banning of demonstrations was one very emotive issue in Queensland in the not so distant past. Banning of the grouping of three or more bikers is more recent. Freedom of speech is a distant memory.

Seems most of the drama emanates from posters on TVF. The average person has effectively remained unaffected in their day to day activities. Sure there are a few cases that make the headlines from time to time, and this happened before the coup as well,  but people forget the situation before the current government took power, by fair means or foul.

That the average person has not been affected is a callumny and propaganda.  And you are a dupe and apologist for that which you, and your compatriots would find unacceptable in your own country.
