cannondale Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluelotus Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 1500 baht per person fine and confiscation of ALL cash on the property. Otherwise no big deal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Probably better to go with a true, tried and tested theme for your party. May I suggest Tarts and Vicars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 1500 baht per person fine and confiscation of ALL cash on the property. Otherwise no big deal . 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Why don't you have the party on a boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 actually it will be on a boat!! And we have the police as security, maybe something has been worked out already behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
