Police investigating international crime in Chonburi raided a housing estate in Jomtien on Monday evening where nine Chinese men were playing Texas Hold'em Poker. 

 

The nine - aged 31 to 42 - were charged with illegal gambling and contravening Covid-19 congregating rules.

What, you mean not western farangs, can this be correct, surely it's a mistake, I thought the Chinese were model citizens with big pockets who spend big in Thailand....hmmm

The usual predictable nonsense. Chinese get busted all the time. So do Thais--and for gambling as well.

Its the crime of the century, alert the firing squad  

Chinese parked their high end motors outside the house, almost a dozen mercs beemers porsches etc and the BIB had to investigate, the smell of  $$$$$$ was way toooo strong

First they bust a bunch of Indians and Nepalese. Now it's a bunch of Chinese.

I wonder if they get thrown in the same cells........

(It's not like China and India are having a confrontation right now over a long running border dispute or anything.)

Thailand keeps this up and they are going to upset the same 2 countries they think are the future of their tourism industry (and other things) !

Would mind that both Nations feel that much offended that they would visit never again

Time to stop doing these silly arrests.  Surely,  the police could find something better to do with their time. 

Played plenty of "poke-her" in Pattaya over the years...

...but NEVER on overstay! :vampire:

Punishment ,appropriately enough, would be to teach them Bridge.

I can understand busting any gambling den run for profit by a host. But a card game among friends for small pots should be tolerated, like a different kind of  pot for personal use.

How dare the 34 year old Chinese guy overstay his visa. He should have flown home. They aren't tell us its 538,490 days overstay or whatever, so it's probably a visa that expired during the covid-19 period. It must be hard to find any real news at the moment.

They've had lots of free time as there aren't many tourists to fleece at the moment.
