I spotted children blatantly "gambling" yesterday trying to hook a teddy bear in a crane machine. Perhaps I should have called the police and claim my 50 baht reward.

Still doing that Mitch?

Children riding motorbikes with no crash helmets are guided out of school by police because children don't have money to pay fines. It boggles the mind that these rigged fairground games are gambling. 

I agree with the above and further more the police should be charged with gambling with peoples lives....!!!!

This is now beyond a joke. There is stupid, there is really stupid and there is Thai cops with apparently nothing better to do than stop a fairground game that has been around for God knows how long. They were ridiculed for busting the bridge players, so it just remains to be seen how much they get ripped to shreds for this latest moronic behaviour.

We will now all sleep safely in our beds each night now that this dastardly heinous bunch of arch criminals is caught

But are they worried... obviously the thick skin can take the ridicule.

I think you'll find that it wasn't the darts and the cuddly toys game per se that was targeted. I reckon the vendors were probably offering odds on bursting a balloon. Maybe they said like "100baht to 120 you cant burst one with a single throw". I translated this story and there was no mention of exactly how the gambling was taking place.

Will the police start making traffic safer if i put a complaint?

You will probably find that the people who 'complained' did not win a prize and lost face!! 5555. It is getting ridiculous with these petty so called laws!????????????????

Talking about gambling they have to shut down the lucky number ,how many Millions get  Gambled  on that? Cock fighting / Bull fighting. The Whole place is Sooo corrupt that who that doesn't  "Donate" will get done.
