Crime Online Lottery Ringleader Arrested in Kalasin, Assets Worth Over 6 Million Baht Seized
Picture courtesy of Workpoint. Cyber police have arrested n online lottery operator in Kalasin province, seizing assets valued at more than 6 million baht, following an extensive investigation into illegal gambling activities on social media. The arrest stems from an operation by the Cyber Patrol Unit of Division 4, Technology Crime Suppression Division 3, which had been monitoring suspicious activity on Facebook. Officers discovered posts promoting illegal lottery sales and transactions. After gathering sufficient evidence, the authorities secured a search warrant and on 29 May apprehended a 31-year-old woman, Ms. Mananya, also known as “Yam”. Further investigation of Ms. Mananya’s online activity revealed she was involved in the sale and forwarding of lottery numbers to another suspect, Ms. Sudaporn or “Yu”, believed to be a major illegal lottery operator in Kalasin. Police traced financial transactions and chat messages from Facebook and LINE apps, uncovering a network with over 20 million baht in financial circulation. The operation included multiple customer communications and promotional activity for illegal gambling. On 10 June, led by Pol. Lt. Col. Mit Konchum and Pol. Lt. Col. Winai Sukhophet, police executed a court-approved search warrant (No. K.109/2568) at a residence in Mueang Kalasin District. Ms. Sudaporn was present at the location. Upon inspection of her mobile phone, police found substantial evidence of her role in operating an illegal online lottery network. She was formally charged with organising and promoting unauthorised gambling under Thai law, including facilitating access to unlicensed online lottery platforms and using social media to attract customers. During the search, police confiscated the following items with an estimated combined value exceeding 6 million baht: 1. Harley Davidson motorcycle 2. Honda CRF 250 motorcycle 3. Vespa scooter 4. Toyota Fortuner SUV 5. Two land title deeds 6. Glock 19 Gen 5 handgun 7. iPhone 8. Two iPads Ms. Sudaporn confessed to operating the online lottery business in collaboration with Ms. Mananya since around 2017. She was taken into custody along with all seized evidence and handed over to investigators for prosecution. This arrest marks another step in Thailand’s efforts to curb illegal online gambling, especially those exploiting digital platforms to promote unlicensed lottery activities.

Politics Poipet Casinos Reeling as Thai Border Crackdown Hits Gambling Trade
Picture courtesy of Naewna. A Thai military-led border restriction targeting cross-border gambling has severely impacted ten major casinos in Poipet, Cambodia, with operations grinding to a near standstill and thousands of Thai workers sent home. Now after days of intensified border controls at the Ban Khlong Luek checkpoint in Aranyaprathet District, the once-bustling Poipet gambling zone has turned eerily quiet. The move is part of Thailand’s strategic response to ongoing border disputes with Cambodia, using economic pressure to curb tensions. Under the new measures, the Thai military has adjusted operating hours at the Klong Luek border gate to limit access. Thai authorities open the checkpoint at 08:00, while Cambodia’s Poipet gate opens at 09:00, causing a one-hour discrepancy that disrupts travel flow. Border security forces have been deployed to conduct strict screening, allowing only Thai nationals with verified employment in Cambodia to cross and even then, for no more than seven days at a time. As a result, ten of Poipet’s best-known casinos, including Holiday Palace, Grand Diamond, Star Vegas, Poipet Resort, Golden Crown, Tropicana, Diamond City, Star Gold, OK VIP, and DNA Casino, have reported a drastic drop in visitors. With Thai gamblers effectively blocked from entering, casino operators have laid off over 80% of their Thai staff, sending them back across the border. Mr. Yo, an employee at one of the casinos, described the situation as unprecedented. “In the past days, all the casinos here have been empty. Nearly all junket companies, which used to bring in Thai gamblers, have closed, over 50 companies in total,” he said. In anticipation of further escalation, including possible cuts to electricity or internet by Thai authorities, casino operators have begun preparing backup power generators to maintain operations during potential outages. Back on the Thai side, thousands of returning Thai workers, mostly laid-off casino staff, have flooded the Aranyaprathet immigration terminal. Long queues formed as returning nationals awaited passport checks, prompting immigration officials to deploy additional staff to manage the crowds. Immigration chief Pol. Col. Naphatphong Supaporn was present to oversee operations. According to Col. Naphatphong, more than 20,000 Thai nationals have returned from Poipet since the measures were introduced on 7 June, many of whom were working in casinos or small businesses in the Cambodian town. The Thai military’s Eastern Border Command has stated that these measures are aimed at reducing gambling and asserting diplomatic pressure on Cambodia, while ensuring legitimate Thai workers are not unduly affected. As the standoff continues, the future of Poipet’s casino industry, heavily reliant on Thai patrons, hangs in the balance. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-06-11 -
