AMLO Moves to Seize 13 Million Baht from Gambling Network

According to a report by Matichon Online on September 22, 2026, Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has officially submitted a request to public prosecutors to seize assets worth 13 million baht. These assets are allegedly linked to Chonnanapat, an individual identified as part of a larger illegal gambling network.

This action is part of a broader, ongoing crackdown by Thai authorities, who have recently targeted assets totaling over 3.5 billion baht in various operations aimed at dismantling illicit gambling operations. The referral to the prosecutor is a procedural step toward having the court order the permanent forfeiture of these assets to the state.

For residents and travelers, this development highlights the Thai government's intensified efforts to combat illegal gambling and money laundering. While these legal proceedings are focused on specific criminal networks, they reflect a wider regulatory environment where financial transactions linked to unauthorized gambling are subject to strict scrutiny and potential seizure.

It remains to be confirmed how the court will rule on this specific forfeiture request and whether further assets linked to this network will be identified in the coming months. The public is advised that these legal processes are ongoing and subject to judicial review.
