PATTAYA: -- At 1am, on the morning on November 28, Pattaya police received information of a gambling ring called locally as Mangkornthog (The Golden Dragon)

 

At a three-storey commercial building on Pattaya’s Third Road, hidden behind the Kasikorn bank at number 220, a group of men were placing and taking bets for English Football Premier league fixtures.

 

Raiding officers discovered five people using online betting sites to place bets for over thirty others. Most of whom were either restaurant workers, shop staff and motorbike taxi drivers.

 

Officers confiscated six laptops and a bank pass-book showing 90,000 baht in the account. Records showed that over 10,000,000 baht was going through the account each month.

 

Forty-two year old Mr Yuthana Toomaneechinda appeared to be the ring-leader and he and thirty-seven others were arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station for questioning.

 

They have all been denied bail.

 

Officers later said this had been the largest gambling operation in Pattaya and both Yuthana and some of the others had been arrested previously, in June 2013, for the same offences and had simply changed the location of their business.

What is wrong with betting on sporting events? Happens all over the world.

 

Gambling is illegal in Thailand. It's also illegal in Singapore and several other countries so it does not happen all over the world.

I know it is illegal here and I am sure gambling happens all over wether you see it or you don't.
