I expect the cocks were seized and taken away for Salt & Battering.

Cock fights are to be found at Chatutchak Weekend Market.....

My extended Lao family in Pattaya have fighting cocks. I've expressed my disapproval, but I guess a lot of it goes on.

A relative of wifey breeds them. A good one of his has sold for 150k bht in the past!

".......two dozen cocks seized...."

I imagine that several times that number are seized every night in the chicken shacks at Soi Cowboy"

We have cock fighting next to our land in Talingchan. Motobikes are continually coming and going with men screaming out, it's really annoying. The police have never come near the place.

A large crowd of gamblers were arrested and two dozen cocks seized

What will happen to the cocks? Hope they're released. I'm sure they'll be wanted somewhere.

Coq au vin would be a nice option

I tried that cock fighting before with the wife, my balls were sore for days!!

Moved to the Juvenile Humour bog.

Thai boys like play with cocks.

Only have to jump over my back fence to see every weekend. Number one sport here. Good bunch of guys. Always enjoy a drink, a punt and a break from the missus and family. Not much different to going to the pub or races back home.

Another ' close to a police station ' story, all too familiar.

This is too funny for words, brash cock fighters anyway! I bet the BIB regret having to make this bust and lose all that tea money. OH!! next week, just check around the other corner. the fighting ring won't be moved very far away...

Another ' close to a police station ' story, all too familiar.

Better to be close to a Police Station to get protection.

I bet the BIB are upset,they will have to find somewhere else for their afternoon gambling sessions

Champion cock fighter of Thailand turned down a cool 2 mil last year somewhere in BKK for his bird. Average life expectancy is 5-6 years. 5k-10k is an average price for the local village champion cock.

Police shut down police station near cockfighting ring.

Ahhhhh! That's more like it!!

Nothing worse when there is two dozen cocks seized...

I suppose the noise woke them up...

"A large crowd of gamblers were arrested and two dozen cocks seized"

Ouch.

Yes, had mine seized many times down Pat Pang...

All thiis for a press release

Every small village or Ban up north has these cock fights every weekend

Someone did not get paid

Is it the cock fighting which is illegal, the gambling or both?

I travel to the south regularly and it seems to be very popular down there. Every single weekend literally 100's of pick ups converge on what looks like a purpose built venue right near the center of Chumphon. They even have police directing traffic. It seems a way of life down there, and pretty much every bloke in the area spends there Saturday and Sunday there and no one batters an eye lid.

Gambling is definitely illegal as far as I know. I don't think cock fighting is but when so much illegal activity is ignored I could be wrong. It would seem to be against the first of the 5 precepts of Buddhism since it causes harm although I remember someone on here a few years ago saying that in general it's not as barbaric here as in many places. Either way I doubt it matters under Thai flexi Buddhism.

It's in the Thaivisa news forum so it's already there.

Please try to pay attention. ☺
