Hi Balthazer
Yes you are correct .... gaming is strictly forbidden in Thailand ... My Family are Thai and we visit often ...
Its even ilegal and arrestable to play cards with freinds in your own home... although many Thai people do it
the Govenment Block gaming web sites .... and be carefull as the Government monitor internet activity so you can get a knock on your hotel door
BUT.... i have used gaming web sites in thailand via a UK VPN ( you can get VPNs in most countries doesnt have to be UK ....VPN means virtual private network for those that dont know ) when connected to a UK VPN the thai governemnt cant see the gaming IP address you are connected to .... and the Gaming web site only see that you are in the UK which means that they wont block you either .... it also has allowed me to do the national lottery abroad and watch BBC iplayer, which is restricted to UK viewers only
although this is what i have done ... please do so at your own risk and dont do any gaming in public ( people will report you for a reward ) best in a hotel room and also dont tell anyone what you are doing ... remember its ILEGAL and you can get arested and inprisioned SERIOUSLY
hope this helps
all the best
Dicky
