hotchilli Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The officers pledged to investigate further to hold involved parties accountable for their crimes and discover the true owner of the gambling websites. So I wonder if their investigation will also lead to the prosecution of the villa owner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost got caught up in this same predicament recently... my renter wanted to use the villa address for a business with Thai 51% ownership and he is here on an EDvisa... we said no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
