Not forgetting marbles and jacks. 

Of course the officials have lost their marbles - but that's a different story.

Are private dart boards exempt ?
I've just started teaching my Thai nephew (9), to play, in an effort to improve his Mental Arithmetic.

[salavan]

The 20 baht shops sell dart boards do they have to register to sell them am I breaking the law if I buy a dart board for my kids from the 20 baht shop

Anybody ever tried explaining what cribbage is all about to one of these clowns?

 

Tried to explain about 15 years ago when one of the then, uniformly dressed in tracksuit bottoms, under cover police though he was onto a winner because he saw the deck of cards being shuffled on a bar by two farangs. He ended up running away shaking his head as the rules of crib were explained to him................

They must be mistaken, no Thai would ever do such a thing.

Looks like the days of beer mats and stubbies are numbered.

In my time I have seen cards,dominoes tiddlywinks,yodelling,yawping,beer pretties,humping and virtually everything else banned.

 

Fun place,innit?

[MartinBangkok]

Suggestion to the big uncle: Ban any group of Thais more than 1 person. Otherwise gambling might occur 

[madmitch]

Out of interest I checked the TDA site and they talk about the form you need to register but there doesn't appear to be a link to it. Probably not created yet. Or perhaps you can just send an email. Clear as mud but at least the TDA are trying and do seem to be unhappy about this, judging by the tone of their message.

 

My regular backgammon partner will be coming to Thailand soon. I'd better hope they don't add this to the naughty game list.

Failure to register dart boards may result in a fine or the board being confiscated,

There will be new Dart leagues starting up in each major city.  Buy your beer at the 7/11 and head over to the nearest Police Station.  

 

In America, we are fond of Dog Racing.  Perhaps we could rid the streets of strays using the same logic.

These are the hardened criminals who were caught in the harmless bridge playing game in Pattaya. Busted by soldiers  wearing flack jacket and armed with automatic weapons.

Give these bravados a war to fight and they would scurry away like swarking village chickens.

How is old Willy?  I knew him when he was a bouncer at the spotted owl in Bowel Von Clench.

Dart is a dangerous game some meaby can gambling on how win

Dart is NOT a sport 

Phil Taylor...

Sorry this is just crazy 

What about pool, golf, polo, tennis etc 

No no gambling is swimming in sea

Driving in Thailand that is gambling but with your health ofcores 

[InMyShadow]

Darts are good fun...right up until somebody loses an eye.

[gk10002000]

The whole thing is ridiculous.  Thais and people can and often do bet on any thing.  Trying to tie that with a board game, a card game, etc. is just foolish.  Growing up we played cards, gin, canasta, cribbage, and we did not play for money.  It was just an activity.  Of course there are money tournaments and matches for chess and bridge and hundreds of other things, but that doesn't mean you can't play for fun.

[sammieuk1]

Another bridge to far in the land of fools I think the junta think tank needs registering or more like certifying.
