Cyber Police Bust Online Gambling Ring in Khon Kaen
Cyber police in Thailand dismantled an online gambling ring after a two-year investigation, arresting four suspects in Khon Kaen and seizing assets worth over 32 million baht. The operation uncovered more than 300 million baht in circulating funds and involved luxury vehicles, cash, electronics, and gold. Three additional suspects remain at large.
Cyber police announced the raid on the online gambling website betfix168.gold in Khon Kaen on October 12, 2026. Senior officers from the Technology Crime Investigation Bureau, including Pol. Lt. Gen. Tinrang Rangmat and several deputy commissioners, presented the seizure of assets valued at over 32 million baht. The investigation, which lasted about two years, linked the network to suspects in Khon Kaen who displayed abnormal wealth from the illegal activity. Police searched six locations, obtained court warrants for seven individuals, and arrested four: a 30‑year‑old woman identified as the website owner and beneficiary, a 21‑year‑old man in charge of withdrawal accounts, a 20‑year‑old woman serving as web admin and withdrawal controller, and a 23‑year‑old man also working as web admin. Seized items included approximately 18 million baht in cash, four vehicles (two luxury cars, a Porsche Panamera, a Toyota Alphard, a Marco EV, and a Honda Civic), eleven mobile phones, four laptops, one tablet, eight SIM cards, sixty‑one ATM cards, eight bank books, three land title deeds, eight condominium units, and 18 baht weight of gold. The gambling network was estimated to have circulated around 300 million baht. The arrested suspects have no prior criminal records and are currently unemployed. Authorities urged the public to report any suspicious SMS links related to illegal websites to the cyber police for further action.
