Besides this sensible decision,however,the efforts by the army-led panel to solve the overpricing problem so far have been disappointing. The request for cooperation from the handful of monopolistic wholesalers and big-timedealers to keep the retail price at 80 baht apiece and the establishment of a makeshift pavilion in front of the GLO head office in Nonthaburi to sell lottery tickets amount to just scratching the surface of the problem. For starters, no buyers will travel a long distance to buy just a few tickets for 80 bat apiece in Nonthaburi. Nor will the wholesalers an big-time bdealers be willing to throw away their easily earned profits.
