The Thai people need a legal casino like they need another 4 years of this government. “Milk the farang” might be the catchcry but it’s the natives that will pay the piper.

Share 50%, no wars then, it is to be in Bangkok and Police run most of that. Throw in a bit for immigration to let the marks in with suitcases of foreign currency and it is a goer.

Want roads opened to traffic to the Casino you need cops. Not want customers indiscretions scrutinized you need cops. Need a politician to smooth things you need the army, need the legislation passed need the army.  If they work together they are on a winner.

a casino in thailand could attract the high quality high net worth individuals that the country has dreamed of enticing in for years.

I assume the entry fee is so it does not attract the likes of the mafia/triads/yakuza,drugs money launderers,dodgy russian oligarchs and anybody else with a bit of shady cash that they want to make look legit by a gambling win.

It amazes me how they keep drumming up "schemes" to attract foreigners while at the same time keep throwing up obstacles for foreigners to enter/stay here.  A casino isnt a terrible idea but Thailand already has a lot of desirable traits if they just let people come here and furthermore, allowed people to stay here if they wish.
