casinos for Thailand?

They should turn Pattaya into the Vegas of south east asia.

 

Pattaya and ONLY pattaya.

 

As a test pilot/case study/whatever you want to call it.

 

It would bring immense wealth to the region and also create lots of opportunity for locals to work. Sure, there are downsides to gambling but by isolating it in one specific region, pattaya being the perfect place due to its close proximity to Bangkok, would be a major boon to the economy.

 

Khun Srettha, if you are reading this, push for the legislation as soon as you can!
