BANGKOK: Thailand has proposed tough entry requirements for local punters in casinos as it plans to build a major gaming industry to boost tourism, new draft regulation released on Monday (Feb 17) showed, which could potentially dent investor interest.
Thai nationals must have at least 50 million baht (US$1.5 million) in fixed deposits for at least six months to be able to enter casinos, according to the draft issued by the Office of the Council of State, which governments consult on legal issues, policy and appointments.
