This is what they called as the Game of "Mahjong" in chinese where the dice are reshuffled each time the game is over to start a new game. End of the day it is the same game with the relocation of the dice in different locations. However the players are the same.

The snooker place mentioned in the article is an abandoned apartment complex. It is an eyesore, and should have been demolished years ago. Perhaps the latest turn of events will prompt the local council into action and rid us of this enduring monstrosity.

Where abouts? Did not see the site exactly mentioned. Just near Chang Peuak down soi from the PTT gas station and Wat Nok Moli there used to be an old snooker place called I think Godzilla. Is that what you are referring to? If it is this palce then that turned into something for a long time already and had security at the entrance. Last time it saw was Songkran. I was wondering what the heck was going on as it was not snooker.

The site is mentioned in the Bangkok Post. It’s on Soem suk road. As you head northwest it on the first right hand corner where the road dog legs. I don’t know the place you are referring to. This place is a derelict building around 10 stories high.
 

Some should tell these guys, if you’re running an illegal casino, you need an escape route. This place is one way in, one way out. It defeats the purpose of having a cockatoo (which they had).

Sounds like over in the Maya area. The cockatoo will more or less will become an informant to testify I would think. They except jibarish on the stand.

Guessing that'll be the 5 that were earning the most out of it in bribes then. Oh look an opening for another 5 now to take their place when the casino starts up again in a new spot. The wheel of corruption within the Royal Thai Police continues unbroken.
