  Thailand's cabinet has approved a draft law that would legalise gambling and casinos, a move aimed at boosting tourism, jobs and investment, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra said on Monday.

The Thai cabinet has approved a draft bill to legalize casinos and gambling, aiming to regulate the underground gambling industry, boost tourism, and increase tax revenue. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin announced that the draft will be presented to parliament in the coming months, with the goal of establishing entertainment complexes that include casinos. These complexes are expected to create jobs and stimulate economic growth. The move comes after years of debate on the issue, with the government now seeking to address the significant amount of money lost to illegal gambling each year. The draft law will undergo further scrutiny and amendments before potentially becoming law.
