Three alleged gamblers were arrested by Pattaya police today, January 1st, for blatantly gambling on the beach. One of them was so spooked he ran into the sea to flee arrest.

 

A team of Pattaya police led by Pol. Lt. Col. Krirkrit Saiwana, deputy superintendent of the Pattaya police station, arrested three gambling suspects on Jomtien Beach in front of The Now Hotel at 9 AM after receiving a tip-off from a concerned informant.

 

The police told local media that the informant said these men were partying and playing an illegal Hi-Low game right on the beach with no regard for the law. Once the police arrived, however, these three men immediately dispersed in all directions, and one of them even decided to run into the sea to flee arrest, according to Pol. Lt. Col. Krirkrit.

Well,  to be honest... you would be arrested in Australia and many other countries if you did the same.  Many strict gambling laws are still living in the dark ages.  You either allow gambling or you don't,  it shouldn't matter what your gambling on.   imo
