weiterThai prime minister proposes legalizing casinos at five tourist spots
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thailand's new prime minister vowed Tuesday to open casinos in tourist centers if he completes his four-year term, seeking a share of the billions of dollars that otherwise flows to illegal gambling dens and neighboring countries.
Samak Sundaravej, who took office last month, mentioned in his weekly radio broadcast Sunday that
he supported the concept of legalized gambling as in Macau and Malaysia, which both host thriving casino industries.
«At the beginning, (we) should start with tourist areas like Pattaya, Phuket, Khon Kaen, Chiang Mai and Hat Yai,» he told reporters in the capital Bangkok.
