Think again and think right. Although the problematic Visa application is a Covid measure and one day we hope it will be gone. Prior to that Thailand was very easy to enter, and was more attractive than many neighbouring countries. Are Westerners really the target market for gambling in Thailand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears to be another convoluted and desperate measure by the not so bright Thai authorities to recoup anything they can in these troubled and struggling times. Next week, it'll be something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by Chinese, you meant the Malaysian Chinese owned Genting Holding who will be delighted if granted license to operate a casino. China is cracking down on Macao and scaring the casinos owners. You probably confused with Sihanoukville which is part owned by a wanted criminal fugitive in China. China is not interested in casino and has zero experience running a casino. Thai government will give give license for integrated resort to incumbent operators. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnarth Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 they will not stop corruption because they want a slice, what a shame, and with the general probably going to China to live when retired, a safety idea, many members are guessing the Chinese will end up some how connected to the casino looking deeper China is in big trouble so the China leader will want to look at what Thai government does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont confuse me Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I think this may be aimed at the Chinese! They don't really go out much of a night, they are generally not night time spenders, but they do love to gamble? Also the government is losing a lot of money to its neighbours who purposely open casinos close to it boarders with Thailand as such attracting 100 of Thai's over the weekend! So why not let them lose their money in Thailand? Only problem I see is, Thai (mentality) plus casino = Somchai sooner or later swinging from a bridge, with a " I can't go on coz I've spent all the family's money" note stuck in his pocket. Of course RTP will be dipping an appendage into the pot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding 2020 & 2021 because of covid Macau received 39.4 million tourists in 2019 which is only 400k less then what Thailand received in the same year. Plus it has a population of 680,000. Also when you take into account the size of Macau in land area (32.9 km squared) its far from being quiet. If the figures are available I'm curious how the much the land area of Macau has been increased artificially in the past 20 or so years. While I have no doubts that Macau makes efforts to lure in people from all over the region ("Hello, my Japanese friend! You like gambling? You like lady? All kinds lady here!") it is pretty obvious the Mainland Chinese are the bread and butter. I haven't been there lately, used to visit around once or twice a year, and every time a new high-rise casino/hotel complex has suddenly appeared. Not long after Ho lost his monopoly and big investors started showing up Wynn (of Las Vegas notoriety) opened a huge resort -- word on the street (for what it's worth) at the time was Wynn recouped the investment in nine months. This announcement being made at this time very likely has something to do with this: China-Laos Railway to boost China-ASEAN economic links Expect there to be an announcement of a high-speed rail link from Vientiane to Pattaya, if it hasn't already been done. Another place for a casino site would be Sadao. Already lads come up from Malaysia and Singapore for the sport, but I think gambling would bring in the adults.

Yes, it's all about the Chinese. It's also shortsighted - the CCP continues to gain power and influence. They don't like their subjects gambling, and it'll be a matter of time before they tell Thailand to enforce rules that Chinese Passport Holders cannot gamble in casinos in Thailand. Thailand won't be able to do anything about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I used to love Sihanoukville, cheap, cheap, and a lot of fun, small beach bars. Ladies on the beach selling skewers of fresh squid, and shrimp for a buck apiece. All gone now. I'm 76 now, and at least I was able to enjoy the tail end of the way things used to be in Asia. Getting back to gambling though even though lottery losers money supposedly goes to good causes in Thailand the fact is that it is still gambling, and although winning does happen, in the long term the Thai person will always be a looser. The same as the avarage Casino player so no difference really, but the Thai government is reluctant to call lottery (gambling) because gambling is illegal in Thailand, unless of course it is being run by the benevolent fathership of the government of Thailand.
