Casino Complex Opponents Criticise Lack of Public Scrutiny and Feasibility Study
Photo courtesy of The Nation Opposition is mounting against the Thai government's push to advance a casino-entertainment complex, amid accusations that the project is being hurried without thorough public examination or a proper feasibility study. The criticism follows remarks from Chief Government Whip Wisut Chainarun, who confirmed that the entertainment complex bill is slated for review by April 9, having already secured Cabinet approval on March 27. Senator Veerasak Vijitsaengsri expressed concerns on Facebook, noting that the proposal remains contentious, with public opinion divided—approximately 60% in favour and 40% against. He argued that public consultations were superficial, and their feedback largely ignored. Critics like Veerasak question the true benefits of the scheme. Proponents argue it will boost state revenue and curb illegal gambling, but Veerasak cautions that the primary beneficiaries will be investors focused on profits, potentially at the expense of social consequences. He also doubted the efficacy of proposed measures, such as the requirement for a 50 million baht bank account, which he believes will only attract wealthy gamblers already wagering abroad. Former election commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn pointed out irregularities in a survey conducted by the Fiscal Policy Office, which showed improbably uniform support for the project. He questioned the credibility of the results, implying government credulity in accepting them. People’s Party MP Parit Wacharasindhu has called for public scrutiny, urging citizens to monitor the government's efforts to prioritise the casino bill among competing urgent legislation, given the session's imminent conclusion. He also criticised the decision to conduct a feasibility study post-approval, questioning the rationale behind such timing and warning it may result in wasted resources if the study later suggests abandoning the project. The pushback reflects a broader demand for transparency and accountability as the government navigates the legislative process for the controversial complex, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-01 -
