He said the 16 agencies provided inputs on both economic and social impacts from the project.
On the economic impact, Julapun said, all the 16 agencies agreed that such entertainment complexes could boost Thailand’s economy.
But on social impact, several agencies proposed mechanisms for protecting members of the society from the effects of gambling.
Julapun said the 16 agencies also noted that several related laws would have to be amended if such casino entertainment complexes were to be allowed to operate in Thailand.
He added that the study of the policy was led by the Finance Ministry but the bill would propose the establishment of a national committee to take charge of the project. The committee will have representatives from several agencies, Jullapun added.
