Popular Post jaltsc Posted December 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2013 "Quote....." Illegal gambling establishment"................" So, where are the photos of the people running the illegal gambling establishment, sitting with embarrassed looks on their faces with the cops pointing fingers at them? Me thinks everyone made out well financially, except for the poor girl. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldthaihand99 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 "ps: since when the casino are allowed here?" They aren't. Neither are bribes, soliciting for sex, corruption, etc. That's why so many Thais go across the border to Cambodia for their proper gambling fun/fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post paddyjenkins Posted December 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2013 No mention of Thai police in this....wonder why...because they don't consider it a crime to abuse/detain/rape/cheat/beat foreigners?....or police owned the casino...or the casino paid the police....or the just didn't see what was in it for them....is there any shame in Thailand at all? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, casino shut down, I don't think so, where is all the gaming equipment? In a new location of course, they are always being relocated as they are illegal, owned by whom? The BIB and the rich and powerful from Bangkok of course, why do they want their power back, its not rocket science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRSoul Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I believe that the rescuers thought that any BIB involvement would be counterproductive. Why they have announced the location after the event is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunla Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I'm happy that she survived and has returned home, hopefully more wary in the future. The modern face-cards we use today were designed in the era of French Corsairs, essentially pirates. In many places around the world the cut-throat mentality remains around the gambling table (and the whole building) and any smart girl will stay clear of it all.

OH, I forgot that maybe the police dont know where this casino is! Ahhh.... you're forgetting. After the last big ruckus about illegal casinos in Bangkok a few months back spurred in part by Khun Chuwit, the BKK police did a "crackdown" on them and vowed they wouldn't allow illegal casinos here. So obviously, this was all a big misunderstanding, since there are no more illegal casinos in Bangkok! Of course, every time the police went to raid one of these places, all they found by the time of their raid were empty warehouses or houses and neighbor reports that they'd seen a lot of moving trucks the night before... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjag Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Stories like this will never stop. UNTIL the government via the police put an end to these illegal places. If it's illegal it's allowed-same prostitution-local lotteries-police fines revenue not passed on to the treasury-national park land illegal buildings-tourist scams- illegal planning permission-(example Pattaya city council bypassing law allowing condo's to be built in front of condo's) name so many more.

Remember a good while ago when the police received a court order to enter the gambling premises. They could not do it because WAIT FOR IT----the path leading to the said premises was privately owned and they did not have a court order to walk down it.. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted December 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2013 Is it completely bizarre that they name the victim here, but not the rapist who is guilty of a crime that deserves a 10 million baht fine for his family, and life in prison? In most other civilized countries that is what he would get. And no one would be concerned with protecting this insect. Why the protection here? Why the concern? I know many will say this is about money and power, of which the Cambodian woman had little. But why does the news organization go so far to protect this vermin? Does that strike you as strange. No effort to protect the victims identity, and so much to protect his. Very strange indeed. Very disturbing too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewt Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 In Thailand as in all countries there will be people scamming, people robbing you ect...... That is a fact of life and truthfully to dwell on this as they say in Thailand--- For What??. In most countries underground casino's is a way of life. The amount of money these establishments bring in is alot. As long as there is a criminal element there will be illegal casino's. Thailand is a great country to live in with its access to fresh fruit/vegetables and the great weather and low rental condos/houses. Hence making it an ideal place for people who are on a fixed income to live. To focus on the negative aspects (which all countries have) is really not the way to go. The logic is---if it is so bad here, why are you here in the first place? I know, cheap girls and great weather....LOL. Take care....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
