In my opinion, gambling industry should be legal in Thailand because of a number of reasons. Firstly,
Thai people like to gamble for entertainment. Even if gambling is illegal nowadays, it is well known
in the social that people still gamble illegally. If the gambling industry are made legal, this will put an
end to existing uncontrollable illegal gambling dens and all gambling places will be registered or
managed by the government. This will rise the standard of gambling places in term of safety of
gamblers, security of the places, etc. Furthermore it will be easier for the government to control and
monitor. Secondly, legal gambling helps improve the economy of the country. Gambling industry can
attract tourists from around the world to come to Thailand. This stimulates the expansion of tourism
industry of the country. Moreover, government can gain more income from both tax collected from
private gambling places and direct income from gambling places owned by the government. The
government can use the additional income from gambling to improve the country in many aspects
such as transportation, health, education, government assets, etc. Finally, legal gambling industry is a
good channel to improve the employment rate of the country. Large-scale business such as gambling
requires a lot of man power to run, so the business owners need to employ a lot of people to work for
the company. As a result, a lot of people will be hired and hence increasing the employment rate of
the country.
