Obviously by a visit to a reliable fortune teller, informing them when the regulation will come into effect. If bar owners visit the same fortune teller, they'll probably be able to discover what the cost of the licence will be. It all seems pretty straightforward to me.

wotsdermatter Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You all seem to forget one thing, archery was banned by Oliver Cromwell and darts took the place of that sport/ weapons of mass destruction. What do Thais have to replace it with, nothing, so the only way they can financially gain from it is to introduce a non-existent license for which nobody knows the cost? Maybe those responsible for making the decision to send the police out on such a foul raid should join the ranks of those having their penises whitened especially after the European doctors warned against it. Incidentally, are female students still whitening the outside of their sex organs, a fad started a couple of tears ago? Never heard a hullabaloo about that.

PremiumLane Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Remember it isn't 'Thais' that are doing this, but the buffoons in charge. I am sure the average Thai on the street couldn't a flying f%#$ if some farrangs play darts or not. Just the usual idiocy from the higher ups.

Briggsy Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Look at the uniforms in the raid, DOPA, Department of Provincial Administration. This looks like a policy or crackdown or revenue-raising ploy dreamed up by the local administration. The police are only there as enforcers.

This all came about after a game where one of the players needed 3 double 20's to finish. He scored the first two but his third dart bounced of the wire and struck a female spectator, who was in fancy dress as a religious person, between the eyes. She collapsed on the floor and the commentator shouted One nun dead and eighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Obviously a nutty attempt to extort money. But assuming for the moment, just for discussion, that they are trying to make some connection to playing the games and gambling, I point out that money can be wagered or bet on just about anything.. Bridge, Gin rummy, Chess, Checkers, Darts, Pool, who can eat the most fried crickets, or whatever silly prop bets one comes up with. I enjoy playing cribbage with friends. But it seems any deck of playing cards is an issue in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleycoin Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 One more shining example of the police of pattaya making them selves look so cool. Who needs tourists to tarnish the good name of pattaya, when it can it can all be done from within, by its own authorities. This guy has lots of friends.

gk10002000 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Section 5. Any person who organises a game in which it is normal to gamble money or other possessions, shall be presumed to have organised it for his own benefit. And any person who plays the game shall also be presumed to have gambled money or other possessions. Mah-jong, Domino, Card Games, backgammon. This the type of catch all out there. Who says it is normal to gamble money or other posessions. And then if you played the game you are presumed to have gambled money or possessions. Goodness gracious, their legal beagles certainly try start one off as guilty until presumed innocent, assuming one even gets to a trial and can present evidence or a defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
