Thaksin Shinawatra backs proposed casino legislation in Thailand
Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra backed casino legislation during a talk this week, reportedly arguing it could support the economy. The bill had been returned for public feedback before Srettha Thavisin left office, and casino bidding processes were expected to conclude that year, subject to regulatory approval.
Political backing may influence the proposed casino legislation and the progress of Thailand’s bidding process, subject to regulatory approval.
