Thailand's New Casino Law Aims to Attract Tourists from Around the World

BRB, Moving to Thailand 🛫✨

The first time one of my friends went to Thailand, she came back with a tan, a Sak Yant tattoo (classic), and a story about a $4 beachfront massage that honestly changed her life. I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard the same thing over and over: once you get there, it’s paradise on clearance. Flights? Painful. But once you land, you’re basically royalty on $40 a day. Which is why I’m absolutely glued to the casino news coming out of Thailand right now.

Imagine playing a virtual casino game poolside while sipping a coconut… That’s the vision. And if you can’t hop on a 17-hour flight just yet? Same. But the good news is you don’t need a passport to win big. Try your luck at our online casino from wherever you are.
