It seems the lunatics are finally running the asylum Give it time and each Dart will have to be registered as a weapon. I see the Dart board ban as just another conduit for the cops scamming.

huainnews Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I don't think anybody has mentioned yet but about 15 years ago there was a purge on pool tables by the BIB I think the 'registration fee' for a licence was 500 Baht a month, 1000 if you had two tables. Fortunately the fees didn't last for long. Hopefully they wil have a change of heart about the need for dart licences but I doubt it, too many senior officers would lose face if they did.

Popular Post TSF Posted March 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2018 I know there are some Thais who play darts but it's primarily a "farang" activity played mainly in "farang" pubs & bars in tourist hubs like Pattaya, Bangkok, Samui, Phuket, Chiang Mai etc. So this is just another "lets hit the farang for all we can" move by these ever-increasingly mean-spirited people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigermoth Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland along with prayut and co obviously got together to dream up this insane law. The government continues to make total idiots of themselves and the laughing stock everywhere. Unfortunately overseas it reflects back on the country.

connda Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) It always amazes me how a government that has an endemic corruption problem (i.e., amoral from top to bottom) simply wants to crush any form of gambling or <gasp> potential gambling. They legislate morality and now focus on things that might be gambling It's beyond absurd.. What's next? Nobody can talk anymore because they may make a bet? "Hey man, I'll give you 2:1 odds that it will rain today." Yeah, I'll take that for 100 THB. <sounds of sirens> "Arrest everyone who talk laew!!! They gamble. Make bet with voice. Jail for you all." Next up: A rhinoceros beetle eradication campaign. Break out the methionine. Here in the North we have Thai fighting beetles, and people bet on them. Kill them all! And chickens. Kill all the chickens too. Someone may bet on a fighting chicken!!! I really wonder how stupid this can get. That's a rhetorical question. Amazing Thailand!

webfact Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Officials Swoop In To Seize Unregistered Dartboards By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Image: ann-dabney / Flickr BANGKOK — The national darts association said pubs and sport bars that wish to offer the sport must register their equipment lest they be confiscated by local authorities. The warning came amid complaints from establishment owners in Pattaya that they are being targeted by officials demanding dart permits. Thailand Dart Association chairman Vichai Govindani said the crackdown is supported by a 83-year-old law that lists darts, bingo and numerous other sports as gambling.

ostyan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If a government comes up with a regulation, it should have a reason. If it has no reason, or people cannot see it it is a big shame on the issuer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaunduhpostman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Getting on towards the top of the hour here at WDUH where the government's words are music to our ears. We started that last set off with last year's number one, "I Got the Grandma's-on-a-Chain-Gang-for-Playing-Bridge-in-Chonburi-Blues" by the Whistling Pensioneers off of their 2017 collection entitled "Baby...If You Goin Back to Blighty...Just Let Me Know," followed by "You Cain't Do It, I Dint Sell You No License" by Colonel I. Gotta Fine Them and the Twistin' It Up Quick Inspectors. And then we heard from The Naked Unicyclist from off of last year's "Bustin' Out: Public Yodeler #1" with "R U Gay 'r Sumpthin'? How Could U Arrest a Nude Man?," another fine Pattaya beach sports promotion number that seems to just add to that whole millieu provided by Gladys Beachchairrentals and her Swingin' Contradictory Shoehorns with her "I'm Takin My Funky Burlap Apron Off (I'm Just Tryin to Enjoy My Short Life, That's All, You Gotta Problem With That?)." After that X-Tourism Minister with, "I Like It Hot, I'm Fixin' to Ankle Tracker Me Some Tourists!" And finally, leading in to the top of the hour, we heard some country music by Bull's Eye and his latest single from off of the album The Good Talking-Dic 'Tater Ship, with a tune entitled, "I Took Away the Dart Boards in This Town, So Then I Figgered Youse Must Be The Target." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
