Gambling Laws

Hi everyone, I know that gambling is illegal here but what if it is only for show? Not using any money. I want to set up a casino theme party and have my guests playing with fake money coins etc. Will I get in trouble with the authorities or can I get a special license for this?

Any info what indeed be very helpful before I land in hot water!!!!

Big problems if caught.. Chips makes no difference, as they assume they can be cashed in later privately.

A casino themed party.. One hel_l of a risk.

huh-oh!!!

Ok here is the scenario, we have some guests that are doing this casino thing with an outside party organizer however I have to provide food, drink and service. Can I also land in hot water with the main organizer? I am guessing yes, right?

I am getting nervous :o

1500 baht per person fine and confiscation of ALL cash on the property. Otherwise no big deal .

Probably better to go with a true, tried and tested theme for your party.

May I suggest Tarts and Vicars?

I have known Thais pay 5k and more for being caught at cards.. A whole bunch of farangs.. can you just imagine how much the MiB eyes would light up..

Dont forget if a Thai shops you the cops can split the fines (of which I think they get 30%) with them.. The girls I know who play cards often complain of each other shopping groups and collecting police kickbacks.

Why don't you have the party on a boat? :o
