The special committee overseeing Thailand’s entertainment complex project has announced Bangkok, Chon Buri, Chiang Mai and Phuket as the first four locations for development.
According to the Bangkok Post, Nikom Boonwiset, vice-chairman of the special committee, said these cities were selected for their strategic significance and tourism potential.
The selected cities are: Bangkok; Central Thailand’s capital and most populous city, located along the Chao Phraya River; Chon Buri, a popular seaside destination known for its beaches, local markets and industrial parks on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand; Chiang Mai, considered the country’s cultural capital, famous for its historic temples, vibrant markets and relaxed atmosphere in Northern Thailand; and Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, a major tourist hub renowned for its stunning beaches, clear waters and bustling resorts.
As previously reported, Thailand plans to establish between five and eight entertainment complexes across the country. However, the number of casino licenses has yet to be determined.
