There is an illegal gambling den in every Tamboon in Thailand

Only One?

Everybody knows they don't exist, especially the police, that's why they got raided on occasion.

Haven't heard of a local one being raided since the new government took charge quoting they are going to stamp out gambling, and force everybody to pay the correct price for lottery (government gambling) tickets as the going rate even in lottery shops here is circa 100B, I assume that they have now reached to correct price and 80B was always wrong.

Because of covid now the police can find all the gambling dens, no excuse now

Comical, I just watched the good police chief on the channel 32 news, Mai Me, Mai Me he said....lol

They will only find the ones who they have no interest in, e.g. don't own or get paid by.

Anyway now the Chief has said there isn't any, dare any junior officer actually find one.

I haven't laughed so much since the idiot in charge of Pattaya made the same local claim about prostitution.

You beat me to the punch!   Now that the light is shining on their casino's the gamblers will be coming to Pattaya since there are a number of them being operated by the police on the Darkside.????

Here some more development on this story:

 

“I insist there are no gambling dens in Rayong,” provincial police chief Paphatdet Ketphan said Sunday. “It was only a place where people engaged in illegal gambling.”

 

His explanation was apparently insufficient to convince the central police force. Paphatdet was removed and sent to an inactive post on Monday, pending an investigation. The order was signed by national police commissioner Suwat Chaengyodsuk, who chided Paphatdet for trying to mislead the public."

But all the ones he profits from are obviously not illegal.

Another space cadet.

I am wondering when the numbnuts in charge are going to see the common thread - illegal activity = rise in coronavirus cases. Gambling dens, covert border crossings at Mae Sai, exploitation of Burmese, Cambodian and Lao migrant workers. It's not rocket science.

His claims reached the ears of the commander of the RTP, Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk who sent in the Region 2 commander to find out the truth and report back immediately Sunday.

Shouldn't take too long...

He must think the whole population is stupid, if he expects them to believe him !

That means they are legal then. ????
