Question:  is a license needed to offer billiards (or any form thereof) as entertainment? What about 4x4?

Yes, it's on the list linked earlier - pool.

I PREDICT   2 - 3 years and they'll get their wish of a 90% drop in tourists and a 90% drop in revenue .. 

I suppose that's what happens when they let the monkeys run the ZOO.

Don't put any money on that prediction, you'll lose.

It reads as though the games are prohibited, not just gambling on them.

Yes - you cannot participate in any way.

 

The good news is that Bridge is not listed !!!!

No 5 on List B - "Image guessing"

 

What on earth is that?

That is logical and while they are at it why should quizzes be exempt.??

They're not, look at the link earlier.

[robblok]

Not to long ago an article n the sun about drunk Brits causing trouble.. maybe the authorities picked up on this and decided to ban the national sport of the Brits in the hope to get their numbers down (in case the pound does not help enough)

 

Just joking here before someone takes it serious.

Will the Thai professional darts team now be arrested. 

 

And look where the qualifiers took place for the 2017 PDC World Championship Asia Qualifier,  

 

Event Venue: Way Hotel in Pattaya

Event Address: 
555/86 MOO 5, NAKLUA ROAD, BANGLAMUNG, CHONBURI 20150, THAILAND

 

The professional game isn't under fire, why should it be?   Premises providing darts without an entertainment licence are what are being targeted apparently.

But Thai National Anthem actually states Thailand is for Thais. Can you imaging the uproar if Germany's anthem said 'Germany is only for Germans? Or any other country come to that. In fact the Thai National Anthem was written by a German.

"But Thai National Anthem actually states Thailand is for Thais".

But, as you claimed, the Thai national anthem does not state that Thailand is only for Thais, does it? 

 

The Thai national anthem actually does not state that Thailand is for Thais, neither was it written by a German!

That's not the way I read it.  The question was asked "Ok, where can I get a licence?"  and the reply was that a licence doesn't exist!!

As far as I am aware the mob in City Hall are an offshoot of the demons in Bangkok, so if they were DOPA officials they would ultimately be controlled by the Muppets in Government House, am I correct in my assessment ?

No but darts are clearly a game which Thais could bet on, just like pool. So it will be about gambling or charging money to play.

Perhaps pool tables will be next on the chopping board then?

You responded to my comment about professional darts so where did you read that the professional game was under fire and needed a licence?

You stated that venues without an entertainment licence are being targeted implying that an entertainment licence is needed to play darts.  That's not true as is evident in the article.

Regarding 'professional dart players', where is the distinction that they are in face exempt?

What about pool tables ? You find them in every bar .

They must be terrified of hordes of farangs armed with these ninja weapons.

Just the ones with curved cushions at the pockets. A nuisance!

Seems to me that some of these officials are suffering from Abbott & Costello Syndrome.
