Pattaya Villa Raided as 25 Indian Nationals Accused of Running Gambling Operation

Police arrested 25 Indian nationals after raiding a Pattaya villa that had allegedly been converted into a base for three online gambling websites. Investigators said the operation handled enormous sums, with total circulation estimated at more than 700 million baht. Officers reported that the property had been modified for secrecy, with shaded gates, darkened windows, a generator, and large food supplies to reduce outside movement. Inside, police said they found the suspects working at laptops in roles including marketing, administration, and finance. Authorities also said all 25 were in Thailand on tourist visas and were charged with working without permits.
