Things are about to change in the Kingdom of Thailand as the Thai Cabinet Approves Bill to Legalize Casinos in Thailand. In an announcement by Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the Prime Minister of Thailand, the cabinet has approved a draft that would introduce casinos to Thailand.
At the moment, most forms of gambling are not legal in Thailand. Casinos and the majority of gambling activities are prohibited in Thailand. The only legal forms of gambling available to Thai are certain state-run horse betting races and the official Tai lottery. However, soccer betting, illicit gaming operations, and lotteries are prevalent, involving substantial amounts of money being exchanged.
The Integrated Entertainment Business Act, referred to as the Entertainment Complex Bill, is set to permit the establishment of casinos within integrated resorts. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra announced this development to reporters in Thailand earlier today.
The cabinet of Thailand will now forward the draft legislation to parliament for additional consideration. It has been indicated that the law may be enacted by mid-2025, contingent upon the approval of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
