Looks like the soap star has really used her soapy performance to gain a fortune. It is really shocking to know that how a simple soap can gain so much wealth in a short period of time. Now it is clear that all a person need to make a fortune is only a "soap"

Gambling is illegal, in Thailand. Why? Is it because of a decree that existed centuries ago? Or is it because Buddhism forbades Thai to gamble. Then, isn't the lottery an issue?

I think it’s one of the things in a long list of unfathomable things that take place in Thailand.
 

Over the years, I’ve found it best not to seek clarity from Thais on such apparent nonsense. The explanation I’m given only leads to more nonsense and more frustration. A current one is Thais on bikes with Masks and no helmets. Just 5 seconds of trying to imagine the mindset of this causes a pain behind my eyes.

It is exactly the same in most Asian countries, China, Japan, Malaysia come to mind right away, online gambling is illegal. Only government-approved and taxed gambling is allowed.
