SiamSam Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Go figure. People who travel to Pattaya having more interest in illegal gambling (legally/easily obtained in countless other countries) as opposed to all of the other illegal delights in Pattaya (not legally/easily obtained in other countries). Hmmmm.... 1 Quote Link to comment
