Thailand’s deputy finance minister says casino bill is due by year-end
Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat said Thailand’s draft law on entertainment venues is expected before the end of 2024. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has supported three possible Bangkok locations, while the proposal would allow gaming across 10% of venue floor space; bidding and regulatory approvals were also expected this year.
