Guest wowpow Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Blatant Gambling on Jomtien Beach caught on tape. Pattaya City News At first glance this appears to be a group of young men enjoying themselves on Jomtien Beach. What is in fact going on here is an illegal gambling event taking place in broad daylight. We obtained these images from a source at the CCTV Center bases at Pattaya City Hall after we received complaints from members of the public who are amazed that groups of gamblers such as these appear not to be concerned about the possibility of being arrested by Police. We can confirm that Police based on Jomtien Beach were contacted by the CCTV Center on this occasion; however theses groups are using a group of well-trained spotters allowing the gamblers to disperse before the Police arrive. We must warn you that any form of gambling is illegal here in Thailand and if you spot such a group on either Pattaya or Jomtien Beaches, please contact your local Police Station or contact their emergency number 191 stating your location clearly to the telephone operator. We understand that patrols of uniformed and undercover Police on both beaches are being stepped up in an attempt to eradicate these beach gambling events. Pattaya City News Quote

Guest jomtien Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Blatant Gambling on Jomtien Beach caught on tape. Pattaya City News Is the penalty for 'blatant gambling' harsher than the one for 'regular gambling'? Quote
Guest GaySacGuy Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 It really isn't about how many cameras they have or where they are located...but the real question is How good is their monitoring equipment and how dilligent is the STAFF!!! If no one is watching...well the cameras don't mean much!!! Quote
