Popular Post webfact Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 File photo For decades it has been one of Thailand hottest of hot potatoes. Whether to have a legal public casino in Thailand, reported Daily News. The issue has been thrashed out, promoted and thrown out dozens of times over the years. Illegal gambling exists everywhere in the country but patrons risk arrest especially during crackdowns. Many choose to nip over the border to Cambodia or go to Singapore or Macao to satisfy the gambling urge. Now leading Thai Civilized Party founder Mongkolkit Suksintharanon is throwing his weight behind the proposals for a legalized casino in Thailand. He published details on his Facebook page how the issue will be raised on Thursday in the House. His comment was "time to stop hiding" and "bring the issue to the top table". Watch this space to see whether Thailand will finally embrace the controversial idea. Here at ASEAN NOW we suggest it may be wise not to bet on it!

herfiehandbag Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It is a bit premature by my reckoning. Property prices in Pattaya and other "tourism centres" have not finished falling yet. Bide your time... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they had a combined facility with a gogo girl dancing on the roulette table I probably wouldn't object to her knocking over my chips. I'd be putting my chips on the double zero every spin, obviously. Edited November 22, 2021 by Gsxrnz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubbaJohnny Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The bidding begins. Of course as any one familair with the. odd police raid there are already casinos in Thailand just not legal.I can think of 3 within walking distance of Huay Kwang cop shop. imagine the beneficial sponsors will need compensation and have the clout and ear of fellow brass. Plan B take a punt at Krystal a chance of STDs and something for the weekend sir? Les jeux sont faits, rien ne va plus .

Popular Post AllanA Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 What has a lot of people been thinking . . they want to bring casinos into Thailand and guess where they want it ? Pattaya will be the casino hub and it’s aimed at the Chinese market . . why do you think Bangkok and Phuket are open but not Pattaya ? they want it gone and this is probably why 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thailand is surrounded by casinos in neighboring countries of Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and further in Philippines and Singapore. Losing millions of foreign currencies to gambling off-shore. Matter of when not how for casino to be set up in Thailand. Just the millions of tourists from China and India will guarantee lucrative revenues for investors and the government. The spin-off businesses will be immense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolgeoff Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Talked about for years but never go thru with it.Just go to cambodia and see the thais gambling there at the border.1000,s everyday do it,win or lose.If they can control the brown evenelopes the gov will keep the baht in the country and make alot of money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BestB Posted November 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2021 this will materialize and very soon. Certain individuals already have stakes in ready to go hotels with full casino floors. This would be super duper beneficial for the government and owners but will destroy thai society that is extremely superstitious. Many thai gamble as is without actual casinos and end up in enormous debts, having actual casino's will make matters even worse Unless government puts some kind of measures in place, like no locals(which they will never do) it will be a total disaster for many. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been mentioning this on several occasions during the past couple of years. If the Chinese get involved with hotels, casinos, bars and restaurants etc. IMO Pattaya will become a Chinese Special Economic Zone, like Sihanoukville in Cambodia. It would become a mecca for Chinese construction workers in the EEC and Chinese tourists flying in to U-Tapao. If the idea does come into fruition then Thais need not have to cross to the Chinese border casinos in Burma, Cambodia and Laos.
