Importantly, if a casino is developed there, the agreement ensures that Wynn (or its affiliate) will remain the sole casino operator on the plot.

His election represents a sharp political shift away from the Shinawatra family’s long-standing influence, following the removal of Paetongtarn Shinawatra by the Constitutional Court over ethical breaches.
