Old Croc Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 "Gambling may cause children, youths and other people to become obsessed with gambling, as well as become a source of crime and other social problems,” Gov Norraphat said." The no gambling laws work very well, no signs of obsessiveness can be seen among the good folks of Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singapore's anti-gambling advert featured a boy called Andy whose gambling-addict dad had bet his life savings on Germany to win the World Cup in 2014. Unfortunately for Singapore, Germany went on to win the world cup, and Andy's dad hit the jackpot. And no, it wouldn't work, Thai people sure do like to gamble.
