Not a problem... just a stupid thing to do.  If you expect any country to allow you to live in it, you have to abide by its rules.

Gambling in Thailand

The primary form of legal gambling in Thailand is the national lottery. It was started in 2003, mostly because a large underground lottery system was already operating and the government felt the best way to drive it out was to create an officially sanctioned lottery system.

I think Mr Bumkin that you will find the Thai lottery of the 1st and 16th of the month started well before 2003.

 I arrived permanently in LOS in September 1986, and had my first and only win on the lottery on November 1st 1986. Not really surprising that I have never won again - I have never bought another ticket!
