Underwater gamblers will be in hot water if that's Krabi!

A group of four divers playing cards for money under water will be in trouble if they were really gambling under the sea in Krabi.

 

But authorities think that it is probably just a prank done abroad even though Thai money is clearly visible.

 

A video of the "card school" has been shared all across Facebook since early March.

 

Four people with lots of ten baht coins are playing a game.

 

Pol Lt Col Anurak Parinyasathirakun of the Krabi water police said he did not believe it was in his jurisdiction.

 

Woraphot Lormlim of the national park that covers the Phi Phi area said that the clip was probably filmed abroad.

 

But if it was in Thailand the perpetrators could face prosecution.

 

Thailand has strict laws regarding gambling including cards.

So people just don't realize when the proverbial is being taken

The only reason they are saying it was not in their jurisdiction is that they cannot do anything about it.

How on earth will they identify the players or location

 

Regardless it looks like a friendly game so big deal

I finally understand Thailand's need for submarines.

 

Underwater gamblers won't stand a chance once the fleet takes sail.

Great idea, I suggest underwater darts with spear-guns too.

 

Wouldn't they have to be registered and permitted.

If not they would taken away by the BIB.

They are gambling in international waters, outside Thai jurisdiction.... Not really see the problem, just small change, 10B coins. Who cares?!?

Authorities are not happy. They were really after after the real criminals. 70 year old divers playing bridge were the big fish they wanted.
