The DKBA states that Chinese individuals operating gambling businesses in Sanchaung will be required to leave immediately and are prohibited from re-entering illegally.
Today (February 9), the second strategic division of the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army (DKBA) announced that it will order Chinese nationals operating gambling businesses in Sanchaung to leave the city as soon as possible and prohibit their illegal entry.
The DKBA states that the Thai government has, since February 5, 2025, cut off electricity and fuel exports to border towns including Sanchaung, in an effort to combat illegal online money laundering and gambling activities along the Thai-Myanmar border.
As a result of the Thai government's actions starting February 5, 2025, to cut off electricity and fuel exports to border towns including Sanchaung, residents of the town are suffering from socio-economic losses related to power outages.
Therefore, the DKBA will make every effort to prevent illegal online money laundering and gambling activities from taking root in Sanchaung and minimize the socio-economic impact on the city's residents.
In addition, those who illegally enter Sanchaung and sell food and beverages are also required to leave by February 28, 2025, otherwise effective measures will be taken.
Similarly, the DKBA states that it will effectively prohibit Chinese nationals from illegally entering Sanchaung.
