The phenomenal income gained from the casinos ranges from $7.5 million to more than twelve and a half million dollars, and there are a few controls constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is presumed to be mainly Thai; although, financial sources are vague. The borders are officially open from 9:00 a.m. to 1700, and though visas are allegedly needed to pass, there are means around this, as is correct of most borders.
