Let's see if the Pattaya police chief and any of his senior officers are transferred for allowing this to happen.

The gamblers could always say they were doing a trial run for the legalization of gambling in Thailand.

Or maybe not...

What a big money game, police should confiscated the boards and dice, given them a warning and sent them home.

What a big wast of police time and resource taking this any further when they should be used on more important things.

I doubt that police can choose what crime will occur on any given day but to suppose that this one was the only one looked into that day seems a bit naive. Also they do not write the laws and any subsequent judgement will come from any court appearance.
