Thailand currently loses untold millions (of $ dollars) just across the borders in Lao; Burma; and Cambodia every day to the casinos built there specifically for the Thais.
The casino owners are all Thai politico's and army bigwigs. Laws here are enacted and enforced to benefit certain individuals or groups rather than Thai society as a whole.
If the gray economy of this country could be tallied up, it might rival the official GDP..

Ali Bongo: You make an interesting point. Thai people have a genetic fault in their DNA. They achieve a psychotropic 'high' when they gamble. To help explain this; it is like them injecting class A drugs, it's the same 'Buzz'.

The solution to this problem is to build a casino for Thai's only, where they can be given the opportunity to lose everything they possess then build 'Workhouses' where they can then live and work for food and shelter only.

It worked in Victorian Britain, it can work in Thailand.

There is a reason that gambling is illegal in Thailand. The thai brain just cannot handle it. Most people who like a flutter play with money that they can afford to lose, not so the Thais, they would gamble until they have nothing left and then get into debt. A lot of these shootings and suicides are gambling debt related.

I feel so much safer now, I think I'll take a walk on Pattaya beach at 3:00am. What a waste of time. Thailand could make a fortune allowing Las Vegas style casinos in Pattaya.
