Proposal to locate Thailand's first casino in remote area like Las Vegas


BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Thailand’s first legal casino should be located in a remote area, to help boost the local economy while reducing the income gap with more developed parts of the country, an MP sitting on the newly formed House panel dealing with the matter suggested on Friday (Jan 28).

Panich Vikitsreth (pic), a member of the House of Representatives’ ad-hoc committee studying the feasibility of opening a casino, said that it would be “more suitable” for the complex to be built in a remote and less developed province than a large city.
