Thailand Reimposes Ban on Poker Games
Thailand's Prime Minister, Anutin Charnvirakul, has effectively reimposed a countrywide ban on poker games, as reported by local media outlet The Nation.
Mr. Anutin, also the country's Interior Minister, revoked an order by former Interior Minister Phumtham Wechayachai that had legalized poker games in the country, with immediate effect.
Mr. Anutin's new instruction referred to a pledge his government made on September 29, to crack down on all forms of gambling.
This move reaffirms the government's anti-gambling stance, as reported by The Nation.
