Casino being prepared next to Yensabai

[lonelywombat]

All attempts to see inside or gain knowledge of what is happening, has not stopped discussion about the casino being prepared at Yensabai entrance gate
The building that runs to soi 17 from the front entrance has been upgraded with huge airconditioners and people are getting nervous about what is about to happen.

Not suggesting the the Yensabai manager and her son, who previously lived in Hong Kong before inheriting Yensabai know anything about this, but time will show more to the background of who is running this business and how or when it was approved.

Someone should really tell the owners that gambling is illegal in Thailand. That's going to be a bit of an expensive "whoops!" moment when they open their doors and find that out.

Like prostitution you mean?

Unlikely to be a casino as Bangkok will probably get the one first. However, if it is then wait outside and when a gorgeous but sad looking boy comes out offer to 'help' with his financial woes.

OK, my two cents. I googled Yensabai and came up with a condo complex near Sunee, map shows it off soi 17 by the VC hotel. As I've said, I don't know Sunee but I did walk the area several years ago during the day. Mostly Arab/Muslim it appears - almost an Arab quarter. It is also not, in any way, glittzy or fashionable. To think this area would get the first permit for gambling in Thailand, beating out Bangkok is far fetched indeed. You have to love rumours, they keep people occupied.

You'd think that if they were going to build a casino in Pattaya they would at least choose a more salubrious area.

You could say, build it and they will come? But why bother when they are already in Bangkok?

I think a number of you are talking through your ars.
Paborn in a previous posting said he googled Sunee Plaza and walked there daytime
Unsure if A447 knows more about other places to the east of sunee but it does not seem he does
I am unable to download the maps but Yensabai is a 12 story condo block that looks down on the pool area of sunee, but you have no access.
There are in excess of 400 condos in Yensabai.
To reach Yensabai condos you have to WALK EAST PAST THE 2 ENTRANCES TO SUNEE
With in 50 metres of the top of soi 17, you will see the entrance to yensabai . Turn right and walk beside the large building described.
The soi leads towards the entrance of yensabai, which is opposite the office of the Austrian Consulate.

I'm sorry, I don't get your issue. I'm very honest in not being intimate about the area and my street camera views did show me the Austrian consulate which is little more than a shop like affair.It is a "honorary consulate" serving Germany as well. Just a paper pushing shop not a diplomatic enclave. Turn by turn directions on how to reach the condo complex has nothing to do with the idea of a permit to build a casino.

All I'm saying is that this area is not Paragon or Siam Center or even any of the really upmarket areas of Pattaya. Besides, the idea that a casino is being built and there is no news, no announcements, nothing but rumours is absurd. I would be less surprised if Soi Twilight were being developed for gambling - still, I find it impossible to believe that such an expenditure was being made without a firm permit.

Lonley, I suspect this is the former pool hall......why do you think a casino is coming more likely a mosque.....sounds like a tall tale....only Monty could have made a better story.....Lol!

I had guessed a mosque but did not want to get shouted down by someone brining up my lack of knowledge of the area.
