The army suspects Cambodian casinos near the Thai border are and laundering moneyserving as a storage point for illegal drugs destined for Thailand.
Drug traffickers are thought to be using casinos as a new channel to smuggle goods to Thailand. The drugs could be sent from Burma to Laos and then Cambodia, or produced in Cambodia itself, where they are hidden in casinos, according to the army.
The gangs just wait for the right time to send the drugs into Thailand, its big trade partner.
"These casinos are threatening our national security," said deputy Burapha Task Force
commander Walit Rojanapakdi. The casinos are just opposite the border provinces of Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi and Trat.
Nine casinos are near the Poipet-Klong Luek checkpoint in Sa Kaeo's Aranyaprathet district; one near the Ban Laem checkpoint in Chanthaburi's Pong Nam Ron district; and three near Trat's Khlong Yai district, according to the Burapha Task Force report.
Col Walit said the government had tried to warn Thais against gambling in the casinos, but they did not pay attention to the warning.
"We can do nothing more," he said. "What we're doing now is gathering information on drug smuggling [from the casinos] into Thailand," he said.
Thais are the biggest group gambling in the casinos, followed by Vietnamese, Malaysians, Taiwanese and Filipinos. About 1,000 to 3,000 Thai gamblers visit casinos at Poipet in Cambodia every day. The Chanthaburi-Trat task force suspects some casinos opposite Chanthaburi province are a favourite hideout for criminals.

Many high ranking CPP officials, Maffia tycoons, have their real or fictive shares in the Poipet Casinos.
How much money they paid taxes to the Governmnt? Very few.
Everythime High CPP officials, like Hok Lundy, Ke Kim Yan....., visit Poipet the Chief of Casino give then 5 Million Baths to play game there. At the end the money come back the Casino.
This is fucken laughable when the Thaicong army said "These Cambodian casinos are threatening the Thaicong national security,"
Now tell me! Since there are hundred and million and million of people came from all part of the world to Las Vagas Casino in the United States and does this mean Las Vegas Casion is threatening the whole world security too? ahahhahaha!
As far as I am concerned the Thaicong national security had been damaged already due to the Muslim unrest in Southern Thailane! The fucken Thaicong don't have to go around blaming other country because no country on Earth will accept it!
I remembered how AH THAKSIN SINAWATRA carried out his drug control policy by executing over 2000 Thaicong national without due process and assuming them to be drug dealers! This is to show the world how stupid and fuck up the Thaicong leaders can be! The fucken Thaicong knew from their past experience that going around killing innocence Thaicong people will not solve the drug problem in Thailane! Now the fucken Thaicong are entertaining the idea of taking on Cambodian casions along the Thaicong border to solve their so called drug problem? Yeh! I dare these Thaicong generals send their tanks and planes over to Cambodia and bomb those Cambodian casions! ahahhahah!
It is about time that the Thaicong leaders and army need to stop picking on weak Cambodia to show off to the Thaicong population that these Thaicong general or army are one fucken tough bastard in defending Thaicong national security and protecting the Thaicong population! If the fucken Thaicong leaders can truly defend the so called Thaicong national security and protecting the Thaicong population, The Muslim unrest of Southern Thailane would have been solved long time ago! The fucken problem of Muslim unrest in Southern Thailane can be trace back more than 50 years ago and even further back!
It is natural for the Thaicong leaders and army to think this way through out history especially in dealing with Cambodia because otherwise their political will cut their political career short! ahah! It is about time that the Thaicong population needs to rethink and challenge their fucken stupid traditional way of thinking because soon nobody in the world will give a fuck about the Thaicong leaders, the Thaicong population, and the Thaicong national security!
I had been following the Thaicong politic for sometime now! Every fucken time the Thaicong leaders or Thaicong army do something very bad to Cambodia, it is because these fucken Thaicong leaders and the fucken Thaicong army want to get vote or promotion from the Thaicong population!
Too much bullshit going on in Thaicong politic these days and I hope that stupid Cambodian leaders don’t fall into the Thaicong bullshit!! This is the very reason that I kept saying that Cambodia must move beyond the Thaicong and the Vietcong know how!
youns (vietnamese) are the China's
ethnic people, so youns culture and
their old characteristic letters are the
same as those of Chinese
No wonder that the tradition of this Chinese
ethnic people(youns called by Chinese and by
Asians) is that :
- vietnamese men in any country, most
of them are thieves or robbers
- and vietnamese women in any country,
most of them are prostitutes
Ah kwack polute the whole world with drugs!
