Thailand delays casino bill debate until August for further review
Thailand postponed parliamentary debate on its casino-entertainment complex bill from the 3 July House session to August to allow further review and consultation. Pheu Thai spokesman Danuporn Punnakanta said the delay was not caused by coalition tensions; the review will consider access for Thai citizens and money-laundering risks.
The delay gives lawmakers more time to examine proposed casino access rules and safeguards before debate.
