"Gambling in Thailand
As a general rule, gambling in Thailand is illegal!!
Can I gamble legally? Yes.
The state run lottery is drawn twice a month on the 15th and 30th. Tickets are available from sellers on the streets of most towns.
Horse racing takes place at the Royal Turf Club, which is located in Bangkok, just off Rama 4 Road, near the Silom area. Red. tillägg; varje söndag (each Sunday) är det Horse racing i Bangkok och VARJE LÖRDAG (each Saturday) i CHIANG MAI.
The other side of the coin.
However it is in the nature of most people in the SE Asia region to gamble and Thailand is no exception. Just about anything can be used as an opportunity to bet. There are transboundary lotteries, football matches, illegal bookmaking at the races, boxing matches, cockfights and fish fights. A recent report in the Bangkok Post newspaper stated that "Each year, the gambling world in Thailand turns over 320 million Baht. Around 110 million of this goes to gambling dens, 92 million goes to underground lotteries, 51 million goes on football bets and about 38 million to the state-run lottery"
Gambling is a major source of income for the black economy, including drug trafficking, tax evasion, illicit arms trade, prostitution and illegal logging to mention a few.
There are moves to legalise gambling to increase the state revenue, promote tourism, create new businesses and jobs, and decrease the amount of illegal cash in circulation.
