Local station chief Aprichai Krobpetch and Bang Lamung district chief Naris Niramaiwong led the military and other agencies in the raid. Several Hi-Lo tables and associated gaming equipment on the ground floor were taken into evidence along with 10,000 baht, reported INN.

KhunBENQ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Wow, professional Hi-Lo tables! Here they resort to simple plastic sheets and hide out at some shacks in the paddy fields. Police takes the bribe and leaves them alone. If police gets aware they will even warn when the military is on the way. But sometimes the military gets them. At least those who can not flee quick enough through the shrubs Off to the courthouse. 1500 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Chef Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If gambling were legalized, Thailand would obviously increase (in a major way) its revenue from taxation of Casino profits. Also the gambling industry creates a lot of jobs. And it would be a boon to the cottage industries as well as the transportation, Real Estate and Banking sectors. Thailand would flourish Immensely, in every aspect of life, if gambling were legalized Also I know that FARLANGS would support the Resort Casino Industry in a major way. Moreover, Thai people would learn to exercise more self-control over their emotions. Just look what the Resort Casino Industry did for Singapore and Macao I can only foresee buckets and buckets of money flowing into Thailand Also, I strongly disagree with Henrik....I think that more killing, by disgruntled Thais, is a non-issue. Most Thais are pretty good about losing under gambling conditions. They have even proven to be gracious for the most part. Sounds like a Win-Win situation to me.

jacko45k Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It is hardly surprising the perpetrators of real crime seem to carry on with impunity, when the police are fully occupied in such large numbers chasing gamblers.

You thought wrong This law lasted just a few days at best during Songkran last year and has quickly been cancelled: "Thai way of life in travelling" See The Thai Government has done a flip flop on its law banning the riding in the back of pickup trucks after considering that such riding has become the way of life of Thai people.

beautifulthailand99 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Was walking with the missus down a backstreet and came across a large one story anonymous building with folk going in and out. The missus asked one what it was the answer came back - bon or something like that - a casino. Legal casinos with only foreigners allowed to play would be a big boost to Thailand and a way to get more money out of the myriad impecunious Chinses who are flocking here.

FruitPudding Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have never known a strategically stimulating gambling game in Thailand, like poker. Nothing that you can learn and get good at. Always just this "pick a lucky number" type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
