You know I can't help but think that the people that run these gambling dens should allow you to buy a metal horse for 10 minutes for say 200 baht, then the owner buy is back at 3-4 times the price later. Could then just call it toy free enterprise !

I always wondered why it is mainly the Thai women that gamble, not the men. Maybe the men are too busy earning money and the women are spending it.
