Recommended Posts

It only takes a collective effort to boycott the visit of this country by the westerners and we shall see if they would ever raid again.

People can bet on just about anything and do. Coin flips? Used to play poker using serial numbers on bills. Confiscate the money!!! Oh, they're already doing that... Turtle races, praying mantis death matches, whether sun will rise...

"Is that a dart in your pocket or ya just glad ta see me?"

The pool table license, the little checkerboard license, chess board license, the little game where you drop tokens in arrays license, the license for finger spinner, monopoly game license, puzzle board license.

For whatever reason? Thailand gets very little negative press around the world, the so called free world chooses to ignore a lot of what goes on here, if this doesn't make the headlines at least on the BBC there is some weird collusion going on for - ridiculous!!! :shock1:

I have a feeling this is BS caused by someone with large brown envelopes to cut out some ot their competition.  MAN, I guess they only want people to go to Pats for walking street nothing else to do.

Idiocy Incorporated.  Thailand's shame goes on.  Police are bandits pure and simple with skins thicker than elephants.  Can they not hear the laughter reverberating round the World's press?

That is really good...asking for a license that does not exist...Why you do not concentrate your power on the real criminals???

My guess is that the real criminals do have a license to steal.

So let me get this right - To play darts you need a dartboard license...but the license doesn't exist. 

 

I recommend the police go to Toys R Us - Lots of dartboards there there - and openly being sold too!! Lock em up!

Mickey Mouse Land where the absurd become reality as they all make it up as they go along!

 

When this hits the news, social media watch the excuses and justification explanations trip out to save face and explain how this dangerous activity is a threat to moral values!

could it be they are going to claim they are protecting the foreigners, from themselves?

 

treat them with kid's gloves... 

and issue licences for a nerf board

So what they are saying is that any sport can be banned if the potential for gambling is there.

That covers every sport and pastime.

The world will laugh and shake their heads once again.

Yes, this type of bullshit is why I have chosen the Philippines, not the same as Thailand but there at least I feel safe and welcome. 

I come back to Thailand for holidays and to catch up with my friends here but I would no longer consider Thailand for my long term future.

Tiddlywinks is still legal, at least for now...

 

Unless it falls under number 7:

 

7. Tossing of coins or any object in any kind of container

nbelievably stupid!!!!!!!!!  What next, a license required to wear short pants or go and have a pee. This most definitely makes the Thai police the world's laughing stock, as if they need any more world firsts like their road carnage. Why not simply ban motor vehicles as well or looking at women or regulating the number of breaths on can take per minute.

Can't bloody believe it, nor will the rest of the world.
