I agree.
However, do keep in mind that most digital gambling platforms targeting to Thais are not even located in Thailand. They are usually owned by obscure companies set up somewhere else. Probably not much the Thai government can do about them other than block the websites if they find them, but new ones of course keep popping up with︀ different domains.
As for physical casinos, lots of underground gambling dens in Bangkok and other︁ big cities. These probably have connections with the police through bribes.
