Thailand’s Senate rejects bill to legalise casinos
Thailand’s Senate rejected the Entertainment Complex Bill, which would have legalised casinos, citing social impact, infrastructure costs and national security concerns. Interim Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has ruled out advancing the bill during his tenure; the article says it could return in 2026 if Pheu Thai forms a stable coalition.
The rejection halts the proposed casino framework, while any revival depends on a future stable coalition.
