I can understand the joy and fun of living and spending money in Thailand.  I guess gambling in Korea like this is illegal.  So what do these guys get charged with here in Thailand?  And if caught, do the Thai officials report that to the Korean officials and the guys may have to face the same penalties in Korea as they would if they had been operating in Korea?
