BANGKOK (Reuters) -- Most Thais oppose the government's plan to legalise casinos and online gambling, moves the authorities say would boost tourism and investment, an opinion survey found on Sunday.
The government this month approved a draft law to allow casinos in entertainment complexes and gambling online. The only legal gambling in Thailand is at state-controlled horse races and a lottery, but soccer betting and underground gambling and lotteries are rife, with vast sums of money changing hands.
