Report Thais Say No to Casinos: Majority Stand Against Complexes
Picture courtesy of Wikipedia Thais continue to express firm opposition to the government's plan for entertainment complexes, including casinos, according to a recent NIDA Poll. Conducted from 16 to 16–18 June 2025, the survey reached 1,310 citizens from diverse demographics. The results show that 56.72% stand against both entertainment complexes and casinos in Thailand, while 24.12% support the idea. Interestingly, 8.78% back the concept of entertainment venues without gambling facilities, and 9.01% remain undecided. Even if these complexes were privately funded, generating between 12 and 12–39 billion baht per year, 84.15% of the dissenters still oppose them. Of those asked, only 11.31% endorse entertainment hubs minus casinos under private investment, illustrating a staunch resistance to gambling. Government proposals for anti-money laundering and entry controls have barely swayed opinions. A substantial 81.47% of respondents continue to reject both concepts, regardless of security measures, favouring a more conservative approach to public leisure activities. Revenue from these complexes, intended for education, infrastructure, and vulnerable groups, also fails to impress. With 78.21% refusing the initiative, the proposed benefits do not seem to outweigh public disapproval of gambling-related developments. When asked about the legislative fate of a draft bill on these complexes, 37.10% predict its rejection, while only 19.85% foresee its passage. The suggested introduction of a national referendum receives more support, with 61.60% backing the idea, indicating a desire for broader public input on this contentious issue. The poll highlights a nationwide scepticism towards integrating casinos into entertainment complexes, with financial incentives and legislative measures struggling to change minds.

Accident 12-Year-Old Cyclist Killed by Lorry While Crossing Road in Ayutthaya
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 12-year-old boy lost his life after being struck and run over by an lorry and trailer, while crossing a road on his bicycle in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. His friend, who was riding pillion, escaped serious injury but was left in a state of shock. Police from Nakhon Luang Station, led by Pol. Sub-Lt. Rakchat Prasoppol, responded to the scene of the fatal collision on the Bang Rakam–Bo Phong Road in Moo 4, Bang Rakam subdistrict, following reports of a cyclist being fatally hit by a lorry. At the scene, officers found a blue bicycle crushed under the rear wheels of a parked lorry. The main vehicle bore registration from Ayutthaya. Lying near the rear right wheel was the lifeless body of the young cyclist. His companion, also aged 12, was unharmed but visibly distressed. Initial investigations revealed that the two boys had been cycling from their nearby housing estate to a convenience store located across the road. Believing it was safe to cross while vehicles were stopped at a red light, they attempted to ride across the two-lane road. A lorry moved forward as its light turned green, striking the bicycle. The rider was killed instantly after being dragged under the rear wheels. The lorry driver stated he had the green light and was proceeding lawfully when the boys suddenly emerged from a side road. He said he tried to swerve, nearly crashing into a nearby shop in the process, but was unable to avoid the collision. Police have taken the driver in for further questioning and are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby cameras to determine the precise cause of the incident. The body of the young victim has been sent for examination, and arrangements are being made to return him to his family for funeral rites. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-23 -
