samurai Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I often wonder why those in power dont demonstrate some common sense and simply legalise gambling on a regulated basis it would be a good source of income for the government, possibly even a new toiurist attraction. The truth of the matter is that gambling takes place in every single soi in every single province throughout Thailand, whether its betting on cock fighting, fish fighting, TV football, unofficial lottery and numerous other things. Tell me one location in this country that it doesnt. Gambling is a way of life for Thais, its pointlessd trying to stamp it out or deny that it exists. I also doubt that legalising gambling will cause any more casualties of addiction then there are now. I heard that a previous government wanted to legalize gambling and also turn it into a tourist attraction. But the "odds" were against them. Have most of these dens/casinos got Chinese -Thai connections ????? Macao -Hong-Kong-Cambodia-Burma..........It was a known fact over the years many Hi So-VIP-MPs were frequent visitors Chinese -Thai ... Hi So-VIP-MPs? And? I see nothing wrong with it if adult enjoy to play card games. No matter what is their ethnic background or socioeconomic status. Could you go more in detail with your known facts?

samurai Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 There is no excuse for the former government, accepted...BUT that does NOT excuse this tin pot lot, or your feeble excuses for them. I do note most of the time your argument seems always to refer Back to the previous governments faults. always skipping the valid points made on the present P.M.s set up. The weather ???????????? it's been bucketing it down in Issan for a month now. Issan rules O.K. so it must be their fault So what the new government has to do with it and for what they are to blame in this topic "(No) Gambling In Bangkok: Police Commissioner" What are the valid points? If he says there is no gambling in BKK then there isn't-if you believe him All Thais are aware of the gambling problems =it's rife throughout - my valid point being whoever is in power it is their DUTY to stamp it out, simple as that. I am not sure what the policemen said in ful l text. probably just that on this two named locations are no illegal casino dens as alleged. And what has it to do with the new government? Need a official crack down statement by the PM on the "social vice" to enjoy playing card games? Should the PM become the investigator, policemen? Since how many days the new government is in office? Already time to blame them for something no previous government could not solve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see nothing wrong with it if adult enjoy to play card games. No matter what is their ethnic background or socioeconomic status. Could you go more in detail with your known facts? I agree with you there is nothing wrong with gambling by anyone whatever origin. Why try being smart when you already know its not the farmers that makes trips to these dens, you well understand that the people my previous post mentioned are from HERE and they do not stop the Illegal goings on but have money to travel to indulge, and if you search the posts yourself over the time you will find VIPs named I believe that Dabble. Something similar to Some Arab people coming to Thailand to get Pissed. So my point is If you are in a VIP position you have to be responsible. You should try to uphold the law, NOT flout it, governments denial that it's rife and police in on the act is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fma Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Obviously a lot of the commentators think that illegal gambling is OK, and paying the police to do so is fine. Personally I applaud anyone that expose corruption! Way to go Chuwit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already time to blame them for something no previous government could not solve? First I said whatever government-please read.....As to your usual Thaksin stand, they (family ) have been here before, remember----So I was not only blaming them, Maybe if they had not been so corrupt before, and tidied things up then we should be clean now. As for your new P.M. she should start to become the P.M. not avoiding burning issues. I wouldn't expect you to agree with anything I post. If king kong was in power and he did wrong I would have my two pennies worth. so why don't you recognize there are serious issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeOboe57 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 There is of course also no illegal casino just opposite the Chao Phya Hospital, conveniently located next to an office for a police newspaper and hiding behind a grey steel door with 24/7 guards.
