In a turnabout decision just after World War II the Finance Ministry became responsible for running legal casinos – only for the well to do. But the law was flouted by allowing all comers to play and the resulting debts and decline in social values prompted the ultimate clampdown. This is Thailand But this is Thailand – the Land of Paradox – where gambling is illegal but a state-run lottery offers millions of baht in prize money. Punters are also free to place their bets on the gee-gees at Bangkok’s Royal Turf Club and the racecourse in Chiang Mai. For the whirr of roulette wheels and the shuffle of cards though gamblers must access one of the 34 casinos in the border towns of Cambodia Burma and Laos. A 2002 study by Chulalongkorn University estimated that approximately Bt80 billion annually was gambled away by Thais in the casinos of neighbouring countries. Betting in the North starts just across the Burmese border between Mae Sai and Tachilik… However when crossing the water to the Golden Triangle Paradise Resort no formalities are necessary and foreign visitors can gamble till dawn. There’s a hint of something surreptitious about the Paradise. This sprawling Lanna-style hotel with 144 rooms possesses an eerie silence and a carefully concealed gambling area. Prospective players must search for the “Game Room” and after finding a hallway out back – lined with video and slot machines – an unmarked door leads into the action. For the rest of usMeanwhile in Thailand illegal betting on football matches boxing cockfights cards and underground lotteries provides alternatives to the national lottery and horseracing. It was recently reported that illegal gambling dens received about Bt110 million per annum underground lotteries Bt92 million football bookies Bt51 million and the national lottery Bt38 million. And the multibillion-baht Thai horseracing industry was said to be one of the most corrupt in Asia.
