About 59 per cent of respondents said they disagreed with investments in both casinos and so-called entertainment complexes in Thailand, according to the Jan. 20-21 survey by the National Institute of Development Administration, also known as Nida. About 69 per cent of respondents also disagreed with the government’s plan to legalise online gambling to support casinos, while the rest were in agreement, the poll showed.
In response, Paetongtarn said on Saturday entertainment complexes will be the nation’s new"man-made tourist destination,” and they will help create jobs and generate new income to help boost economic growth.
