Cabinet Set to Reject Casino Entry Rule for Thai Nationals
Picture courtesy: Bangkok Post Thai Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has indicated that a contentious proposal regulating casino entry for Thai citizens is unlikely to win cabinet approval. The policy, suggested by the Council of State (CoS), requires Thais to maintain a minimum of 50 million baht (approximately THB 50 million) in fixed deposits for at least six months to gain entry to casino entertainment complexes. Anutin, who also holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister and leads the Bhumjaithai Party, expressed skepticism over the proposal's feasibility. He reassured that as a coalition partner, Bhumjaithai remains committed to supporting government policies, provided they don't negatively impact society. This proposal, outlined by Pakorn Nilprapunt, the CoS Secretary-General, aims to limit gambling access to individuals with considerable financial resources. Pakorn noted that the draft is under its second review, with the public invited to provide feedback until March 1 through the CoS website. This public response will shape subsequent deliberations. The CoS plans to present the refined draft to the cabinet 50 days post the feedback deadline. Pakorn framed the Entertainment Complex Bill primarily as a tool to boost foreign tourism, incorporating stringent measures to deter most Thais from patronizing local casinos, addressing prevalent gambling concerns. Meanwhile, Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat clarified that the bill's broader agenda includes curbing illegal gambling, attracting foreign investment, and stimulating economic growth. He voiced concerns that the financial stipulations would exclude a majority of Thais from legal casinos, risking a continued reliance on unlawful gambling dens or establishments in neighbouring countries. The entry requirements, poised to restrict accessibility for locals and promote economic boosts through controlled tourism, are scheduled for reassessment at an upcoming cabinet meeting. The decision will play a pivotal role in the future landscape of Thailand’s entertainment and gambling sectors, balancing economic interests with social considerations, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-21 -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
Sorry my German friend or if you want that adventure on your soil again be my guest I would prefer in the UK with our "moat' and nukes to stay out of other's beefs. The Switzerland solution as I like to call it. It has worked well for them. And if Russia want a second revolution that's up to them we should stay out of interfering in other's systems. It seldom ends well. -

Putin is more ruthless than Hitler—Rommel was allowed an honorable death after taking part in the assassination plot, whereas Prigozhin was blown out of the sky after a 'chef’s kiss' from Putin. -

Trump Joins the Axis. NATO Dead. WW111 Imminent?
If you look at what lead to the failure of Hitler's march on Moscow: he was a crazy person with initial luck in his strategic decisions (making him wrongly think that he was a strategic genius); he attacked with his army badly prepared and at the wrong season; and he thought to win immediate "living space" instead of a long-term solution where he simply waited for the Russians to turn on each other (difficult to do while they got stronger by the day with Allied help). That the Russians cannot be defeated is simply a myth. As is that Germany are good ingenieurs (we cannot even get our trains to come on time), or that the Americans are fair and free. Maybe it is time to throw away some of those old misconceptions and test them against reality. Only one thing is true: in all this, the Europeans are the only ones keeping to law and order and democratic values (i.e. being enlightened). -
