Poker in Thailand
Poker is rare in Thailand. It is hard to find a game to join, even in Bangkok, the country's largest city. The reason for this lack of Thai poker games is not that it is unpopular, but because it is illegal. Poker, along with all other casino games, is forbidden in Thailand. The country has no casinos at all and there are no Thai poker rooms to be found.

The only way to play poker in Thailand is to go to an illegal, underground casino. These are risky and players often lose their money at such places. Instead, many Thai poker players cross the border into Cambodia. The nearest place to play poker is in Poipet, where 8 large casinos all offer poker games to Thai players.

Online Poker in Thailand
Online poker in Thailand is also hard to find. Thai internet poker sites do exist, but if they are hosted in Thailand then they are illegal, and the police shut them down relatively quickly. The only other way Thai players can play online poker games for real money is by playing at foreign internet poker rooms.

The thing that makes these foreign internet poker sites different is that they are hosted in countries where the Thai government has no jurisdiction. Because of this, even if the government finds out about them, they can't shut them down. Thai players are not always accepted at these online poker sites, but many sites do let players from Thailand join and use their services.
