Anutin opposes Thailand casino plans as legalisation debate faces uncertainty

Thailand’s casino legalisation effort faces an uncertain path after Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul declared opposition to casinos, while the source reports that the initiative’s former political champion, Thaksin Shinawatra, was jailed for twelve months on 9 September. Anutin has promised parliamentary elections by early next year, and a hospitality adviser said the legislation could return after the vote.
