Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6974759, member: 397965"] Yes poker is considered gambling, and its strictly illegal in Thailand. Yes like everywhere else. Its also not legal to play in a home game in the US, and playing in a licensed casino is obviously way safer than playing in any illegal home game. Yes the law in Thailand is very clear. The only thing unclear is why, so many foreigners think, its ok to not follow the law in a country, they visit, and that this will not have any consequences. I would also not recommend anyone to engage in other illegal activities in Thailand like drug use/trading or underage prostitution. People from western countries generally expect, that visitors follow the law, but for some strange reason many expats in Asia dont feel, the same apply to them. Yes you can probably bribe the police, and this might work for a while, until suddenly it does not ;) [/QUOTE]
