bradiston Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Where do these bookies and punters hang out in order to get arrested? There are no betting shops, so private premises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question now becomes how many cops were paid to look the other way and let offenders just leave? THB 111k is nothing. These raids usually confiscate millions of baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 So how is it that horse racing , chicken cock fighting and the lottery are OK to gamble on but not football ? Can only be that it is just another easy way to fine gamblers and line the pockets of the police ? BTW any news on the proposed casinos for Thailand ?
