Thailand – Thai National Assembly recommends casino introduction to government
By Phil - 29 de julio de 2022
The Thai National Assembly has recommended to its government that a decree allowing ‘entertainment complexes’ including casinos should be brought in to boost the economy and prevent Thais spending money in casinos outside of the country.
The plan is for casinos to include hotels, amusement parks, and retail outlets with government due to discuss the recommendation in a parliamentary recess in September. Locals will be able to gamble in the casinos.
Pichet Chuamuangphan, the second vice-chairman of the committee, said that an initial casino in the Greater Bangkok area, along with gaming floors in seaside southern regions such as Phuket, Krabi, or Phang Nga, could generate at least $11bn in taxes if tax was set at 30 per cent.
Pichet Chuamuangphan, the second vice-chairman of the committee, said: “We’re focused on attracting foreigners to step up tourism and draw more money out of their pockets. Esto también frenará la salida de dinero de los jugadores tailandeses y ayudará al gobierno a recaudar fuertes impuestos para nuestra seguridad económica”.
"Ofrecer múltiples actividades evitará la creación de garitos de juego y ampliará el atractivo de la industria turística", añadió.
Mientras que la Ley de Juegos de Azar de Tailandia de 1935 prohíbe Para la mayoría de las formas de juego, contiene una disposición que permite al gobierno emitir decretos o licencias para determinadas actividades y lugares de juego.
