Thai Senate Report Rejects Paetongtarn Casino Proposal Over Social Risks

[MissExposé]

The Thai Senate is preparing to debate a report rejecting the Paetongtarn Shinawatra administration’s proposal for casino-entertainment complexes. Although the bill was already withdrawn, the Senate committee led by Senator Veeraphan Suwannamai argued it conflicted with constitutional principles, threatened public order, and carried major social risks. Critics described the initiative as an attempt to legalize gambling under the guise of tourism development. While the proposal suggested economic gains, the committee concluded these would be minimal compared to the dangers of addiction, crime, and legal disputes. The report calls for strict constitutional safeguards and tighter limits on regulatory powers.
