Thailand’s government is poised to advance its plan for entertainment complexes featuring casinos, following substantial support from a recent public hearing.
Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat announced on Thursday that 80 percent of attendees supported the proposed casino project. This public hearing was mandated by the constitution.
According to the Bangkok Post, the hearing, organized by the Ministry of Finance, provided stakeholders an opportunity to discuss the draft bill for the entertainment complex.
Julapun stated that feedback from the hearing would be used to refine the bill before it is submitted for further consideration.
The revised bill will be presented to the cabinet for approval by coalition parties. If endorsed, it will proceed to the Council of State for review and then to the House of Representatives. This step is essential in the legislative process for legalizing entertainment complexes, including casinos, in Thailand.
