    Re: Casino being prepared next to Yensabai

    Blimey so much duff gen by so many people who walked there years ago, googled it, and used street view.

    1. As far as I know, the Chinese Witch doesnt own the place, she and her son are the Care takers. Condos are individually privately owned.
    2. The Austrian Consulate went years ago.
    3. Yes it is the former Snooker Billiard Club.
    4. No one knows what its going to be Mosque, Gambling or hopefully another E Saan music place.

    Said as someone who stays there 4/5 months a year for the last 14 years.

    "Unsure if A447 knows more about other places to the east of sunee but it does not seem he does"

    You're right, I don't.

    But I do know it is in splitting distance of one of the sleaziest areas in Asia.

    Good for you! I never said I was a denizen of the area, only that I've been there and unless a huge transformation has taken place it is an unlikely spot for the first casino in Thailand. I wasn't the one who brougfht up the "consulate" so when or if it moved is a matter of indifference. Yes, I did use street view to get some feel of the place and , guess whaty, Paragon Mall it is not. Frankly, I admit I have no idea what will be built there and neither does anyone else. But, a casino??? A better snooker hall is far more likely.

    A casino! a mosque! They're both forms of gambling just with different jackpots.

    I've heard this rumor from friends who live in the Day/Night area, and I can't imagine why they think it's possible. That location is just way too public.

    On the other hand, if you have a car and tend to drive aimlessly around the Pattaya countryside, you will occasionally see a house at the end of a dead-end soi that looks like a whorehouse but is actually a gambling joint.

    I am told by people that work inside that is the plan.
    Sure there are experts and people who are totally wrong.
    Either a mosque or a casino is a problem if you live in Yensabai

    But it is interesting with all the bars disappearing something is being planned but not openly.
    All those buildings will go eventually.

    Latest news it will open as a billiard hall shortly
    When the casino gets licenced in Feb 2019, it can be converted within 24 hours.
    The billiard tables have now been removed from Yensabai exit, ground floor.

    Thailand doesn't have casino licenses, so what the hell are you on about?

    And just a hunch, but the General isn't about to open up gambling. At the very least, you're waiting for a democratically elected government again before any casino license is issued.

    More than likely, it's just some idiot who believes this would be a good marketing strategy. Put out false claims that a casino is opening up soon to get people to come to a billiards hall.


    It will be well after Feb 2019 before Thailand starts issuing casino licenses.

    I think issuing Casino Licences would be a grave mistake.
    I hear a lot of stories about Thais being addicted to gambling without giving them more opportunities.
