On November 5, 2024, according to Thai media, on the evening of the 5th, the Bangkok Metropolitan Police, the Department of Women's and Children's Welfare, and the Wang Thonglang Police Station jointly conducted a raid and searched an illegal Chinese-run gambling den located in Saha Pramun alley, Wang Thonglang district, Bangkok. During the operation, 20 dealers and numerous Chinese gamblers participating in illegal gambling activities were arrested on the spot.
Investigations revealed that the arrested gamblers were all Chinese, who organized gambling sessions through social media platforms like WeChat. Previously, the venue had been a Chinese restaurant, which had closed down during the pandemic due to poor management, although the sign had not yet been removed.
Currently, the police have taken all the individuals involved back to the Wang Thonglang Police Station for further investigation, awaiting further processing results.
