It has been 1991 since I was last in Chaing Mai and Chaing Rai so I don't know if this information is still current. I used to import sterling silver jewelery and hill tribe handicrafts from both cities. People I used to deal with took me to illegal casinos in both cities. It has been so long I do not recall their names and unfortunately I was not collecting chips at that time but I wish I was.

In Pattaya I was some unscroupulous casino workers tried to coerce me into getting involved in a blackjack game in a casino in which I was supposed to, through cheating, steal thousands from the casino and split it with them. Needless to say, I left town before they knew where I was and never returned to Pattaya.
