Thailand’s government aims to finalise legislation for casino-containing entertainment complexes during its current term, which runs until June 2027. Lawmakers are due to begin considering the draft in July; the proposal includes a THB5,000 entry fee and a THB50 million bank-deposit requirement for Thai citizens, and still needs approval from both houses and royal endorsement.
