At around 1pm on Friday (August 7), police found six casino tables, 18 chairs, chips worth millions of baht, six card trays, 96 decks of cards, eight CCTV cameras, three CCTV servers and three DVRs in a building on Rama III Soi 66. 

 

Thungmahamek police have said that all these items will be used as evidence. The building is located opposite the gambling den where four people were found dead on August 3.

 

After the shooting, police told the press that it had not found anything at the scene of the crime, sparking public criticism since clips had been posted online showing men ignoring the bodies and removing equipment from the gambling den.

 

Meanwhile, national police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda has threatened Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pakapong Pongpetra with a transfer if he is unable to solve the case soon. 

 

Police are seeking an arrest warrant for 61-year-old Phiphit “Boy BanKrua” Srisuwan, who reportedly surrendered on Thursday for shooting dead the unhappy loser who had turned the gun on other gamblers.

Well, here goes version one (work in progress): The gambling den was actually a front for a Nigerian Romance Scam-gang who used it to disguise their operation. No actual gambling was going on and the unmarred Thai Police has no involvement what-so-ever. The unfortunate police major was just using the toilet and was there purely by accident.

I thought the Police Major was there under cover, just prior to a big bust. There were no bodies, just mannequins, strewn around to make it look as if a shooting occurred. The CCTV system wasn't working as it wasn't a gambling den and the casino tables were dining tables in disguise.

Why don't let them just gamble ?

Win win for all involved. Dead gamblers are colleteral damage.

All anti-gambling laws, whatever country, are just a source of revenue for the cops. The cops are almost always able to persuade enough politicians and influential people of the moral evil of gambling to keep the laws in place.
