Does Thailand Need "Man-Made Tourism Destinations"?

[@jamie1944]

People come to Thailand for the culture and scenery not to gamble, if you want to gamble go to a concrete city like Las Vegas or Macau

Pho Quoc and Ba nai hills comes to mind, love Vietnam but never go to their man made attractions. Same with Thailand, been coming here for 14 years, for the people, the food, the culture. Not for casinos or amusement parks. That would make me stay home.

Casinos require cash injections from government if they fail to make money on their own like Star Casino in Brisbane which opened in August 2024 for AUD 3.6 billion.

It won’t help Thai people. Just adds another cash machine to skim from. Casinos never help the people.

no . those who knows - knows

[@annetaarts1126]

In Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Macau China billions are earned with casinos and everything around it like hotels etc. The government of Thailand also wants to earn money with gambling tourism, and wants to sell this wish as man-made tourism. That's all.

People visit Thailand because it's Thailand. Build it and they will come... (I don't think so)

Gambling is a tax on ignorance
