A 15-day public hearing period on Thailand’s draft Entertainment Complex Bill has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with more than 80% of respondents approving of the plan and many even suggesting an easing of rules around locals entry and gaming floor space.
Documents summarizing the findings were published by the Ministry of Finance on Monday, revealing a total of 71,289 people responded with 80.75% agreeing with the general entertainment complex plan.
According to the Ministry, recommendations stemming from the public’s feedback include altering a requirement for locals to hold at least THB 50 million (US$1.5 million) in a fixed deposit account for not less than 6 months in order to gain casino access because limiting the customer base would directly affect investment.
