Na Jomtien police headed by Pol Col Prasertsuk Hengsuwan and tech police raided a two story pool villa being used as an online gambling center yesterday evening.

Natthapong, 26, was in charge but police are investigating a bigger investor behind the scenes.

 

Those arrested were all aged from 20 to 26 and we're earning 12,000 baht a month. The manager got 20K reported 77kaoded.

 

Foreign SIM cards and computers were taken into evidence.

Ops! Not chineses

Probably yes. They were all from Chiang Rai (city or province). The Province borders the Mekong River from the Golden Triangle Resort south to Chiang Saen. Opposite in Laos is the Chinese owned/operated equivalent of "Las Vegas" which is linked by a ferry service.

18 young Thais in a pool house? My guess is a neighbour, or security, thought it suspicious and reported it

It's a screen.
Actually I could do with an extra display on my desk; where do you think they will be sold off?

It wouldn't be police work.  My extended family took a miscreant to Dongtan cop shop & fat-*rse wanted 10K to start proceedings.  The cops obviously smelled bigger money.

This is what happens when Thais get tech savvy....
