leisurely Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have to say it is one of the many things I can't understand about Thailand. You are allowed to watch two cockerels gouge each other, but can't bet on the outcome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berty Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 At the Pleonchit Fair the other day there was some rampant gambling going on in the Crazy Bingo area. My missus won a blender, nearly 10K in cash, and other assorted goodies. I think she probably dropped around 10K on tickets so came out about even.

kmart Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) I have to say it is one of the many things I can't understand about Thailand. You are allowed to watch two cockerels gouge each other, but can't bet on the outcome? Thais go over the border to drop millions daily on the tables of casinos next door in Cambodia and Burma. Same with soccer gambling; card dens; etc; etc. If this was somehow regulated and legalised, Thailand would save billions yearly; but the illegal status quo is maintained, so this money ends up in the "grey economy" of LOS. The "Guns, Gambling and Ganja" book by Pasuk Phongpaichit is a good account of how the parallel economy works in Thailand.

London Crocodile Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The "Guns, Gambling and Ganja" book by Pasuk Phongpaichit is a good account of how the parallel economy works in Thailand. Guns, Girls, Gambling and Ganja is such a laborious read it is just not worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
