Thailand postpones casino bill’s first parliamentary reading amid trade concerns
Thailand postponed the first parliamentary reading of its Entertainment Complex Bill, which would allow casinos within integrated resorts; Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said the government was not withdrawing the proposal. The bill could return in parliament’s next session, while the government prioritises the US tariff situation and the earthquake’s aftermath.
The postponement delays consideration of proposed casino entry rules and resort requirements in Thailand.
