North Pattaya Market Vendors caught gambling



PATTAYA: -- On a slow morning at a Market in Naklua, a group of vendors decided to gamble as they waited for customers but someone at the market contacted the Police and vendors were arrested.

A total of 5 market vendors were suspected of playing the popular dice game “Hi-Low” for money, which contravenes Thailand’s strict anti-gambling laws. It is thought that another vendor at the market contacted the Police who arrived in-force and detained the gambling vendors.

Not sure I really get why anyone would dob them in - do the high-low games end in violence when someone loses their shirt or is caught cheating ? Seems odd in a country where the national sport - Muay Thai - is dominated by the insatiable gambling tendencies of a large number of Thai men.

I am sure they only learned the dice game a few days ago from Chinese tourists

check the dice , I bet they were "made in China"

One sarcastic post and one in all caps removed.

They will get off lightly if they play their cards right. But don't bet on it.

Pity i wanted to buy a t shirt that day hehe.

It is against the law and most Thais do it. I don't understand.

I think these guys deserve life imprisonment.

Coming to Thailand and live here is also a gamble. Is that against the law too?

Why!

Come on Thailand ''Get a Grip its 2015'' whats the big deal about Gambling...
