He doesn't say foreigners were arrested in this story. He mentions, for comparison, a previous story where it happened to some farang playing darts and bridge (a card game), in Pattaya.

They should be busting the village "casinos" and their hi lo games....where thousands of baht are in play regularly. Round our way virtually every funeral party in every village is an excuse for this addictive game Not forgetting gambling dens run by pigs ! Or Ex Pigs.

O Mache casinos just at the Thai / Cambodia border 60k from Surin do a roaring trade every day with Thai customers who cross the border for 50 baht . Thailand could have casinos which would generate big profit for the country . Gambling will always take place in one shape or another so it is best to have it in the open , a similar story with cannabis being legalised in many countries . Thailand is starting to feel like a communist country with its unreasonable attitudes and in my thinking it is going the wrong way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponder Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Offenbach had a similar view of the French police in his time: THE GENDARMES DUET We're public guardians bold, yet wary And of ourselves we take good care To risk our precious lives we're chary When anger looms, we're never there But when we meet a helpless woman Or little boys that do no harm We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes. Sometimes our duty's extramural Then little butterflies we chase We like to gamble in things rural Commune with nature face to face Unto our beat then back returning Refreshed by nature's holy charm We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes. If gentlemen will make a riot And punch each other's heads at night We're quite disposed to keep it quiet Provided that they make it right But if they do not seem to see it Or give to us our proper terms We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes We run them in, we run them in We run them in, we run them in We show them we're the bold gendarmes.

Burma Bill Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Interesting but the authorities should come north to rural Issan where one particular farang bar has BINGO regularly on Friday and Sunday evenings where cash for a card is "put in the pot" for a "full house"!
