Thailand's government, led by Deputy Finance Minister Chulaphan Amornvivat, is preparing to propose a landmark bill that could see legal casinos established within integrated entertainment complexes by the end of the year. Touted as a strategy to revitalise the nation’s economy, the initiative forecasts the development of multifaceted complexes combining leisure activities with discreet casino operations, capped at ten percent of each venue's function.

 

Investors looking to partake in this venture must back their aspirations with substantial financial credentials, demonstrating a minimum registered capital of 10 billion baht. The commitment includes hefty licensing and annual fees, underscoring the serious investment required for participation. Licenses will span 30 years, with potential extensions of an additional decade.

 

Interest is already cascading in from both domestic and international stakeholders, eager to secure one of the five initial licenses. Potential sites on the table include the historic Nang Loeng Racecourse in Bangkok, the iconic Siam Park City, the strategic U-Tapao International Airport, the bustling Bangkok Mall, and the hospitality jewel, Hua Hin's Proud Group. Together, they promise a blend of casino gaming, lavish hotels, top-notch restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and thrilling amusement parks.

 

Though prospects appear promising, hurdles remain. With licenses for four sites reportedly nearly confirmed, here's an atmosphere of anticipation mixed with scepticism. As this proposal inches closer to reality, it faces staunch opposition from varied sectors resistant to gambling liberalisation. The journey from proposal to praxis involves considerable negotiation, and the bill's success will depend on striking a balance between economic aspirations and social concerns.

 

Thailand's venture into the legalised entertainment complex realm represents a bold step, blending tradition with modernisation. However, any perceived approval of gambling remains restricted strictly within these confines, excluding online or unauthorised venues outside the designated zones. As discussions proceed, eyes will be on the Thai legislature as they navigate this potential economic boon and social conundrum, reported The Pattaya News.

That´s the only thing they ever think about. They are in for a bumpy ride, as this will affect many people in a very bad way.

Crime, everything from petty crime to major organized crime will do very well in Thailand when casinos open.

Haven't they been 'set' to do this for several years now?  Just get on with it already.
