According to The Bangkok Post, the draft bill on entertainment complexes was passed on Monday with Paetongtarn telling reporters, “Legalization will protect the public and would also generate more state revenue.”
The bill must now pass through the House of Representatives and then the Upper House before becoming law, although each house typically takes months to pass a bill across three required readings.
