It is a public secret that the biggest GAMBLING DENS are Muay Thai boxing and cock-fights.
Should close both of them down as well.

Yes gambling is illegal in Thailand,so what's the twice a month national lottery then,if not gambling? How hypocritical,one rule for us,one rule for them.

The fiasco of showing this tainted world cup on free to air TV defies logic.

Gambling is illegal.

Millions of Thais watching world cup matches will gamble on them.

Gambling would be drastically reduced if the matches were not shown.

In Thailand they gamble on almost anything, so should all things not be televised? In Thailand there are lots of drunks fighting, road accidents due to alcohol, domestic abuse due to alcohol. So should ALL bars be closed and alcohol band. I watch the world cup, but i don't gamble on it. Gambling wouldn't be reduced as they can still get the results on the internet. Please don't tell me Thais can't afford the Internet!
