Is Gambling For Fun Really Illegal In Thailand?

[Mark Wolfe]

SBK:

Even gambling for fun is illegal in Thailand....

Can this be true? What about the lottery tickets I buy every two weeks and never win anything with? Granted, losing every time isn't fun, but is it illegal too?

Is there a legal reference to support this allegation?

Surely the word Gambling means the activity is not for fun but profit?

Interesting if playing whist and scoring for example would be banned......or Bridge perhaps?
