Thailand – Thailand to set up extraordinary committee to investigate casino gaming
By Phil - 6 December 2021
Thailand, one of only three ASEAN nations without legal casinos, alongside Indonesia and Brunei, will launch a feasibility study into the effects of introducing casino gaming via an integrated resort with a casino.
The House of Representatives will charge an extraordinary committee of 60 people with the task of evaluating the benefits of a casino to boost tourism and the local economy.
Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha claimed in January that casinos could help the country out of COVID with Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP) leader Gen Prawit Wongsuwon saying: “Look at the countries around us. Our people visit those casinos too.”
