Re: The Crackdown Continues on Cambodian People Playing Cards
I remember a funny story (funny for me, maybe not for the people involved), which happened in Thailand. The Thai cops raided an expat bridge club and arrested everyone for gambling - all of them quite elderly and quite respectable. For the Thais, if people were playing cards then they must be gambling.
And tbh I don't think I've seen cards being played in Cambodia without some sort of stake.
Ok, found a link or two (hilarious) :

Re: The Crackdown Continues on Cambodian People Playing Cards
Gambling is a curse on the people especially it seems Asian people who get completely addicted and will gamble their lives away. That being said the authorities here are heavy handed and not neccessarily skillful in their approach though the overall effort is to protect the gambling types.
Be your own toy.
