bberrythailand Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Which Choke Chai Village, Bang Lamung ? The one with the swimming pool restaurant ?

Bill Miller Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It does seem a bit ridiculous until I recall an expat former neighbor who had his car repoed because the money he was giving to his girlfriend for the car payment went to gambling instead.

My former neighbor's wife gambled their house away plus a bunch of money they didn't have playing cards in Ubon. They were living in Pattaya on the lam from loan sharks. I was working in Southern California & decided to check out Vegas one weekend. I'm half decent at a poker game, as long as it's pocket change and nickel ante. My biggest haul ever was $15 USD. I sat down & played video poker and lost $20 in about 10 minutes. That was the end my Vegas gambling. I did NOT like the casinos at all, & found them to be loud, obnoxious places. Never went back and never plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Given the fact that most farang men that marry Thai women usually go for ones that are far younger than them; so where are the farang hubbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually i'd expect Thais get a pass on stuff like this but as those in the frame here are wed to foreigners they'll be fair game for a proper shakedown that'll help justify the raid. Sigh ? No Thais do not get a pass on gambling, a lady in our neighborhood has been busted at least 10 times for gambling along with her friends. She owned a massage and hair salon. When the police drove by and saw the doors shut and a lot of shoes in front it was time for a raid. Usually 2,000b and if they went to court dropped down to 1200b. They did arrest people just watching as a neighbor and her mom were both fined 2000b for being present. Again Thais do not get a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikosan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 6 hours ago, Kerryd said: "Three others who were drinking on an adjoining table were let go as there was no evidence they were drinking." So if there had been evidence that they had been drinking they would have been arrested ? On what charge ? Did drinking in a private home suddenly become illegal ? Imagine the chaos ! No evidence that they were 'gambling' is clearly written in the report. Stop misrepresenting the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikosan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Pathetic is about the only word to describe this. I bet the wives of the cops do exactly the same thing whilst they are at work. Talk about losing face, the BIB et al have very successfully done that. Their senior officers should also be taken to task. A complete and utter waste of resources and manpower.

It's a big deal to get caught with them...errr...the police make money off it. LOL The cards they had you can buy in any amount from the 7/11 and Family Mart. They are the official cards manufactured by the Thai government. You are otherwise permitted to own two packs (and a few cards extra) of playing cards that do not have the stickers. But not import them unless you pay the customs charges. I would guess that somebody felt a bit left out of the fun and decided to ring the police. Once that happens they are obliged to act. Normally nobody cares about these small games. With the big games there is always an "influential person" or two somewhere behind the scenes.

Guys have lost houses through wives gambling and putting up the house papers as collateral. I know one guy in Hua Hin who lost both house and car. Choose your woman carefully...........
