Thailand – Thai National Assembly recommends casino introduction to government

The Thai National Assembly has recommended to its government that a decree allowing ‘entertainment complexes’ including casinos should be brought in to boost the economy and prevent Thais spending money in casinos outside of the country.

The plan is for casinos to include hotels, amusement parks, and retail outlets with government due to discuss the recommendation in a parliamentary recess in September. Locals will be able to gamble in the casinos.

Pichet Chuamuangphan, the second vice-chairman of the committee, said that an initial casino in the Greater Bangkok area, along with gaming floors in seaside southern regions such as Phuket, Krabi, or Phang Nga, could generate at least $11bn in taxes if tax was set at 30 per cent.

pichet Chuamuangphan, the second vice-chairman of the committee, said: “We’re focused on attracting foreigners to step up tourism and draw more money out of their pockets. Acest lucru va opri, de asemenea, ieșirea de bani de la jucătorii thailandezi și va ajuta guvernul să colecteze taxe considerabile pentru securitatea noastră economică.”

„Oferirea de activități multiple va evita crearea de bârne de jocuri de noroc și va extinde atractivitatea industriei turismului”, a adăugat el.

În timp ce Legea privind jocurile de noroc din Thailanda din 1935 interzice majoritatea formelor de jocuri de noroc conțin o prevedere care permite guvernului să emită decrete sau licențe pentru anumite activități și locuri de joc.
