Are there any South Korean ex-pats currently residing in Thailand who aren’t running an illegal online gambling operation? Seriously, show of hands…

On Monday, Thai police raided a luxury condominium in Bangkok, arresting three South Korean men who were running an illegal online casino catering to their countrymen back home. This site had reportedly been in operation for around six months.

On Wednesday, police raided a different Bangkok luxury condo, arresting two South Koreans while seizing five computers and six mobile phones. Here too, the men reportedly confessed to running their illegal online gambling business for the previous six months. This site also catered exclusively to a South Korean clientele.

That same day, police in Phuket arrested eight South Koreans running an illegal online sportsbook out of a condo and a commercial property that had been made to look like a tourism business. In addition to multiple computers and phones, police seized 60 South Korean bankbooks, which contained records of betting transactions totaling 100m baht (US $3m).
