Key summary
On October 25, 2026, former Democrat Party MP Sirichok Sopa posted on Facebook challenging Digital Economy and Society Minister Chai Chanok (referred to as Mr. Chidchob in the source text) regarding online gambling. Although the minister previously declared opposition to casinos, Sirichok noted that many major online gambling websites remain accessible to Thai users via mobile phones. He listed ten specific sites—UFAB**, 1XB**, t365, M9*, KUB**, MAXB**, Sta**.com, SBOB**, W8*, and 918KI**—and challenged the minister to close them within one week to prove actual results rather than just announcing URL counts. Sirichok mentioned that while the government had announced closing nearly one million gambling URLs, his test of 30 sites allowed access to 29 of them. He stated he would return to check how many sites were actually closed after the one-week period.
