Thai government postpones casino legalisation bill ahead of parliamentary reading
Thailand’s government postponed the first parliamentary reading of its proposed Integrated Entertainment Complex Bill, which had been scheduled for 9 July. Deputy Transport Minister Manaporn Charoensri said the delay reflected public misunderstandings and inadequate communication; a Senate committee separately recommended withdrawing the bill.
The delay leaves the proposed framework for casino operations without the planned parliamentary consideration on 9 July.
