March 17, 201511 yr Popular Post Ten people... 220 baht of dirty money... Sounds like a major crime wave to me. Good thing the cops are on top of this sort of thing. Who knows? Maybe they'll eventually get around to the jaywalker syndicate...
March 17, 201511 yr Average of 22 baht per person. Good riddance, these are the true scourge that plague Thailand!
March 17, 201510 yr Author I mean really are they serious? I know gambling is illegal, but surely there's bigger fish to fry. It's like the volunteer thing, when does it go from serious to silly? Missus likes a 20 baht flutter on the footie and other sports with me, but we make sure there's no-one else around. It makes sure she doesn't want to turn the channel
March 17, 201510 yr This is how I feel at this moment. Legalize gambling, "drugs", sex toys, off-hours alcohol sales, shisha pipes, pirate goods, porno, and Underboob Selfies. Pardon all those involved with all such activities. Then fill the prison cells with illegal agricultural burners, forest arsonists, and bent public officials.
March 17, 201510 yr Well, look, the coppers have to bust someone every now and then. As like in so many countries just a low level nothing, justice is seen to be served, public rejoices in reduced unauthorised crime.
March 17, 201510 yr I guarantee I have never gambled. In fact, I'll give you 3:1 odds and allow a parlay with an over/under of 135. no juice, vig 10% and i'll tease it down to 5
March 17, 201510 yr Then fill the prison cells with illegal agricultural burners, forest arsonists, and bent public officials. You wouldn't have room.
