Casino In Chiang Saen?

[Harri44]

Hi,

I heard about a casino in Chiang Saen called 'Golden Triangle Paradise Resort" I would like to spend 2 or 3 days there. It is a safe place? It is on The Thai side or Myanmar side?

Is anybody went there already? What kind of game do they propose (We would like to play No Limit Texas Holdem for like 500USD+)

Feel free to share your experience there

Cheers

Harri

500 limit? If so, you wouldn't last five minutes if you won. Maybe even if you lost. This is not Nevada or Macao. In any case the place you ask about is in Chiang Rai and there are no (legal) casinos in Thailand.

Why? Really unsafe?

Have you ever travelled in SE Asia before?

need to clear (local Thai Immigration) prior to crossing river at Chiang Saeng, upon arriving across the river - Burmese immigration require you to leave your passport with their agent until you depart.

If I remember correctly, It may be a day trip. No need stay 2-3 days, nothing to do there are only 2 casinos.

Majority of gamblers are Thai's, but some time there are Chinese Nationals who visit there from North via the

Chiang Saeng River as there are ferries going to China from there.

Great, circumventing Thai law while putting money into the pockets of the Burmese regime.

I could comment, but I think it's obvious.

you might want to read posts about the casino goings on in Poipet, Cambodia in another thread It could be happening in Chiang Saen, personally, I would give the place a wide berth, but as they say Up to U.
