Thailand cabinet approves casino resort bill ahead of possible April 9 debate
Thailand’s cabinet approved the Entertainment Complex Bill on 27 March, proposing casino resorts, and Parliament could debate it by 9 April, chief government whip Wisut Chainarun said. The bill still needs National Assembly approval, and its parliamentary schedule had not been confirmed; civil society groups criticised the pace of its consideration.
The bill’s progress could determine whether Thailand establishes a legal framework for casino resorts.
