Thahtay Kyun Island

Thahtay Kyun Island, also known as Son Island, is a small Burmese island within the Mergui Archipelago in the Andaman Sea.

This island has been given by the Burmese Government on a long term concession to a Thailand based VES Group for development as a tourism and a gambling den for thousands of addicted Thai money squanderer.
(In Thailand gambling is illegal, so thousands of Thai citizens escape out every day for gambling and to loose their money.)

The owner of the casino, Thai businessmen made a deal with the Myanmar authorities to get the island on long term lease, built a excellent beach resort with a casino and make a lot of money.
