They are running by the Thai Chinese rather. There are over 6 millions Thai 
Chinese who run commerce, economy, and gamblings across border like this. 
 
During Friday 19 December’s meeting at the Council of Ministers, Hun Sen 
declared war on slot machine operators who flaunt the law. 
The Chinese culture promotion of alcohol drinking,gambling, casino ,drug 
smuggling and sex industry and slavery have destroyed the entire Cambodian 
social fabric.
CONSEQUENCES : 
SEX TRADE, PROSTITUTION, SEX INDUSTRY,violence,aid disease, HIV 
,slavery.....across the borders increase since the Thai Chinese are running 
this evil gamblings.
The Chinese are producing 100,000 prostitutes in Cambodia, one third are 
underage . 
With prostitution ,they have introduced drug smugglings in Cambodia.The Chinese 
are running brothels, importers ,distributors & promoters of wine & alcohol 
drinking, running Hotels, restaurants, KaraoKe bars.The Chinese with multiples 
nationalities, coming under the label as foreign investors, are in fact the 
EVIL IN THE LAND OF CAMBODIA ..
They came to destroy Cambodia.
THEY ARE THE NEW COLONIALISTS .The Thai Chinese are the lowest creature on 
earth in Cambodia ( see the Thai Chinese group the Teng Bunma with their 
promotion of drug consumption, prostitution, illegal logging..)
 
THE CHINESE LEADERS ARE LIARS AND CHEATER AS OF TODAY.
March 22, 1970 Prince Sihanouk meets with Zhou Enlai in Beijing and is told: 
"... China is determined to support Your Highness until Your Highness returns 
to his own country in victory. So long as Your Highness is determined to fight 
to the end, it is for certain that we will provide Your Highness with our 
support....
Prince Sihanouk REPLIED : "With China's support, I will persist in the 
struggle. No matter how long the struggle will last and how many difficulties 
it will endure, I will never yield."
 
IN 2008 AS MAO TSE TOUNG COMMUNIST AGENT , NORODOM SIHANOUK ENDS UP LIVING ON 
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST WELFARE IN CHINA, LEAVING HIS COUNTRY OCCUPIED BY THE 
VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS .
The Vietnamese communists , the Chinese friends, continued to disobey the UN 
resolutions:Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution 
A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of 
Vietnamese forces from Cambodia.As of today, Cambodia is still occupied by the 
Vietnamese troops despite the call from the US president to Vietnam to cease 
her occupation of Cambodia since 1988. THE CHINESE LEADERS REMAINS SILENT ON 
THIS ISSUE , ALLOWING THE VIETNAMESE TO OCCUPY CAMBODIA AGAINST THE 10 UN 
RESOLUTIONS, WHILE CHINA HAS PROMISED SIAHNOUK TO SUPPORT THE INDEPENDENCE OF 
CAMBODIA ?THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS LEADERS ARE LIARS VIS A VIS THE CAMBODIAN 
PEOPLE.Bury

THAI CASINOS IN CAMBODIA




Poipet casinos - December 9, 2003Earlier this year when the border casinos were 
in the news, we asked for photos to show what they actually looked like. 'John 
G' sent in a few shots of the Poipet area casinos. It is no Las Vegas, but it 
gives an idea of what the area is like.
Right: The Holiday Poipet

Above: The visa office - notice the entrance to the 'Holiday Palace' behind it.

Thai gamblers unable to visit casinos - Online Casinos, September 8, 2005 The 
restriction of Sa Kaew's provincial administration of border passes to Poi Pet 
in Cambodia has left many Thais bitter, as they are now unable to visit casinos 
in the city. Thailand has no legal casinos, and, in the past, many Thais 
traveled to Poi Pet in order to gamble, but now they are unable to do so...

New bets on Thai casinos - Casino City Times, June 27, 2005As reported by the 
Australian: "The prospects for Australia's gaming tycoons of new opportunities 
in Thailand have improved, with the Thai Government pushing for a referendum on 
legalising casinos."The moves follow a series of raids on illegal casinos last 
week, prompting Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to call for a debate on the 
issue."…Mr Shinawatra said a vote on the issue could be held at the next 
election."The debate will be closely watched by Kerry Packer's Publishing & 
Broadcasting Ltd and Victorian gaming giant Tabcorp - both of whom are expected 
to be among many gaming operators keen on any Thai casino licence."…PBL is 
expected to be well positioned for any change as Mr Packer already knows Mr 
Shinawatra - a popular leader who made his fortune building a 
telecommunications empire before entering politics."…PBL has an Asian gaming 
joint venture with Melco International Development, a company chaired by 
Macau's former gambling monopolist, Stanley Ho, through which they are 
committed to pursuing further Asian gaming opportunities…" 

Thais visit Cambodian casinos for New Years - Rolling Good Times, April 13, 
2005"…Pol. Lt. Col. Niruti Ruengjintana, deputy superintendent of the Aranya 
Prathet immigration office, said that he expected around 5,000 Thais to cross 
over into the Cambodian border town of Poi Pet this morning, and that more were 
likely to follow in the afternoon…" 

Ban on building material for border casino complex - Construction violates 
agreement, says army - Bangkok Post, July 29, 2004A ban has been put on the 
movement of building materials from Thailand to a new casino complex under 
construction in Cambodia, adjacent to the Chong Sa-ngam border checkpoint in Si 
Sa Ket province... 

New casino at border upsets army - Bangkok Post, July 28, 2004...A source said 
the casino was expected to be completed in the next few months. It was being 
built by an affiliate of Star Vegas Co, which operates another casino in 
Cambodia's Poipet town opposite Ban Klongluek in Sa Kaeo's Aranyaprathet 
district. Thai businessman Sombun Charoensukkraisri, owner of Star Vegas Co, 
had invested in the 300-million-baht casino opposite Si Sa Ket in partnership 
with a Cambodian military officer, Lt-Gen Tia Sot. 

Border casinos: Thaksin acts to stem exodus of New Year gamblers - The Nation, 
December 23, 2003"Beware! You may lose your money out there, and even if you 
win and bring back a lot of money, your cash could be seized. The videos will 
record your movements," Thaksin said... Niranuj Sawatkamthon, manager of the 
Holiday Palace casino in Poi Pet, said yesterday that the stricter screening 
procedure at the checkpoint had delayed travellers and prompted complaints from 
many foreign tourists.This is a direct blow against Thai police and military 
men behind the casinos and a further indication of Thaksin's power and 
confidence. 

Border casinos open again - April 17, 2003 Does any reader have a photo of 
these casinos? The one-kilometer-long gambling strip, with its well-watered and 
immaculately manicured lawns, luxury hotels, air-conditioned shopping centers, 
massage parlors and brothels, has seven casinos, with an eighth under 
construction. "More than 1,000 Thais cross the border every day," said Wanchai 
Topan, police chief in Aranyaprathet district of Thailand's Sa Kaew province, 
just across from Poipet...The building of the casinos also caused a population 
boom in the frontier town. According to Poipet's new commune clerk San Seang 
Hou, appointed by the Ministry of Interior, the town's population has increased 
to more than 100,000 from 9,244 families in 1998 census. BTW: Gambling News 
also carries this story, but has edited out some material including the last 
paragraph that mentions "the social costs" of gambling. 

2 casino moguls 'helped Cambodia pay riot bill' - The Straits Times, March 19, 
2003Gambling kingpins Kok Ahn and Pad Supapa contributed to Monday's payment to 
hasten the diplomatic normalisation process and revive their business fortunes, 
the Bangkok Post reported, citing a Thai military intelligence source. 

Outcry over casino trucks - The Nation, March 13, 2003 The border with Cambodia 
is closed--except for trucks carrying materials to build Thai casinos. The 
transportation of construction materials was temporarily halted for two hours 
due to concern among Cambodian authorities over the presence of foreign 
journalists. Cambodian villagers living near the border expressed discontent 
over the permit granted to the convoy. Many in the border town have been facing 
a severe food shortage since the closure of the border... 

Poipet casinos seek help from Hun Sen - February 1, 2003Calamity: the borders 
are still closed during this Chinese New Year. 


No Cambodians allowed - Bangkok Post, December 31, 2002What's going on at the 
Chong Chom checkpoint in Kap Choeng district: When a request to open the 
checkpoint was submitted to the government, the reason given as ``cross-border 
trading''. But the reality is quite different, with gamblers instead of traders 
using the checkpoint. The nearest town on the Cambodian side of the border _ 
Samrong _ is miles away on a bumpy road....Cambodian citizens are banned from 
entering the casino, except those employed as waitresses and cleaners. It is a 
pretty good article detailing how much things cost and what goes on around the 
checkpoint. Does anyone have photos of the casinos? 

Pailin's casinos - October 2, 2002From "Irony is News" journalism: Pailin, once 
the heart of Khmer Rouge territory, is now full of Thai casinos. The troops 
have been replaced by armies of croupiers in red waistcoats and short black 
skirts on their way to work at the Caesar International Casino, an aircraft 
hangar-style monstrosity offering "Disco, Dance, Karaoke, Restaurant, Massage." 
Interesting to note that when this article is used in a Canadaian newspaper it 
has the title: "Cambodia's jungle Klondike thrives" but direct from Reuters, it 
has the title "Las Vegas overruns Pol Pot's rural idyll in Cambodia."A past 
article on Thai casinos in Cambodia is here. 

More on Thai casinos in Cambodia - July 26, 2002From a Sam Rainsy Party press 
release: Ly Yong Phat and other Thai businessmen have asked the Koh Kong 
provincial authorities led by Thai-born Governor Yuth Phouthang to chase 
Cambodian farmers and fishermen from a large area between the Thai border and a 
Thai-built bridge linking, on Cambodian territory, the commune of Pak Klong and 
the commune of Dang Tung. Besides, the Thai army is building a road from the 
Thai border to the city of Sre Ambel, about 200 kilometres eastward.And an 
earlier article: SRP oppose land grabs in Pailin and Poipet 

Cambodian border casinos - AFP, February 17, 2002 Banned from most forms of 
gambling in their own country, cashed-up Thais are frittering away tens of 
millions of dollars every year at gaudy border casinos. After roaring up the 
highway from Bangkok, they park their luxury German or Japanese sedans in 
tightly guarded car parks opposite miserable frontier towns like Poipet, in 
Cambodia..."Legally speaking we might be in Cambodia, but practically speaking 
it is in fact Thailand," said one of the casino managers. Just about everyone 
milling around the Holiday Palace, the Golden Crown Casino and the Star Vegas 
is Thai and the only currency accepted is the baht. The 5,000 Cambodian 
employees are expected to only speak Thai.The casinos are owned by investors 
from Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. The management task 
force also counts Americans, Britons, Australians and French -- in all more 
than a dozen nationalities. (from Cambodian border casinos, AFP, February 17, 
2002)
