CGS Survey Results Show Increase in Number of Thai Gamblers
Reading Time: 2 minutes
A survey by the Centre for Gambling Studies (CGS) has found that more than 700,000 first-time punters gambled this year, with the youngest being only seven years old.
CGS director Nualnoi Trirat said the centre has been studying the gambling habits of Thais across the country since 2017.
The study found that 30.42 million Thais, equivalent to 57% of the country’s population, engaged in some sort of gambling. This was an increase of 1.4 million gamblers since the study began in 2017. Of the 30.42 million gamblers surveyed this year, 733,000 were 15-18 years old or about 20% of people in this age range; 3.05 million were aged 19-25 years (46%) and 3.3 million gamblers were 60 or older (42%).
“Our study found that more than 700,000 people who gambled this year were first-time gamblers and the youngest of them was only seven years old,” Nualnoi Trirat said.
“In terms of money generated by gambling activities, football betting came out top with about 160 billion baht circulating each year, followed by the underground lottery with 153 billion baht, and government lottery with 150 billion baht,” Nualnoi said.
According to Ms. Nualnoi, news coverage of government lottery winners is pushing more and more Thais to try their luck.
“The Government Lottery Office prints more than 100 million lottery tickets for each draw, which far outstrips the country’s total population of about 68 million people,” she said.
“We believe access to gambling must be tightened and we urge the government to come up with policies which do not promote such activities in society,” Supreeda Adulyanont, manager of the Thai Health Promotion Foundation said.
Supreeda said Thailand should follow other countries’ examples and set up a panel tasked with preventing occasional gamblers from becoming gambling addicts.
“[The government] should also offer services to wean addicts off their gambling habit and provide assistance to the gamblers’ families,” Supreeda added.

Kaizen Foundation joins forces with Friends of the Earth Malta
The Kaizen Foundation has announced today a three-year partnership with Friends of the Earth Malta (FoEM). FoEM is part of Friends of the Earth, the world’s largest grassroots environmental network with a presence in 74 countries. This collaboration will support FoEM’s efforts to create a hub for environmental education at Il-Forn ta’ Kemmuna, a long-term project that aims to highlight the ecological and historical significance of Comino island. The project’s aim is to restore the historic bakery that once sustained the small farming community living on Comino decades ago. The building will be transformed into a zero-impact facility that educates visitors about the island’s unique ecology.
Panos Konstantopoulos, President of the Kaizen Foundation, commented: “This new partnership with Friends of the Earth Malta aligns perfectly with our mission to support long-term, impactful initiatives that improve quality of life. The environment is one of the core pillars of our Foundation and this project on Comino island promotes both environmental awareness and conservation. Aiming to serve as a force for positive change on a global scale, we are delighted that this partnership launches the Kaizen Foundation’s activities in Malta, following projects in Greece, Romania, and Germany. Cooperating with NGOs like FoEM, as well as with local communities is key for bringing about meaningful change and expanding the impact of our support.”
Il-Forn ta’ Kemmuna was conceptualised by FoEM’s director, Martin Galea De Giovanni, who came across the bakery as a young adult, while camping with friends. Watching the building fall into neglect, he conceived the idea of turning it into a centre for education about Comino’s natural beauty and historical significance. Comino (Kemmuna in Maltese), a small island in the Maltese archipelago, is home to a wealth of endemic flora and fauna and has been designated as a Natura 2000 site, the highest form of environmental protection in the European Union.
The bakery, located near Santa Maria Bay and surrounded by unspoiled nature (16,400m²), will operate with zero emissions, incorporating renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, and waste management systems, thus serving as a model for sustainable development. Il-Forn ta’ Kemmuna will host a programme of events designed to connect visitors and communities with the natural landscape of Comino. Activities shall include walks in nature, beekeeping and permaculture workshops, while also celebrating Maltese heritage through traditional bread-making. The restoration will also focus on preserving the bakery’s historic oven, one of the few remaining traditional ovens in Malta. Initial restoration work on the building began in 2024.
