Thai police raid residence after gambling report, people turn out to be playing board game

Group of people spooked by police raid while playing board game at home

A hilarious moment occurred in Thailand when police raided a group of people playing a board game at home.

Earlier this week, TikTok user @nnannthc uploaded the 20-second video of her and her friends getting raided by the officers.

In the clip, a group of five people can be seen playing the game on the floor of what appears to be a brightly lit living room.

Moments later, five police officers suddenly appear — rushing towards the transparent sliding doors.

As the door slides open, one man in the group can be heard gasping in shock.

“We almost got arrested because of a board game,” the in-video caption reads.

Someone mistook them for gambling

According to Thai news outlet Channel 7, the group were playing a board game called Muffin Time, which involves using cards.

This apparently caused a passerby to mistakenly think they were gambling, prompting them to call the police.

Without hesitation, the police arrived and burst into the house to conduct a raid.

The group was shocked and visibly panicked at first, but quickly regained their composure and explained that they were simply playing a card-based board game, not gambling.

 

The police then understood the misunderstanding and left peacefully.

“Someone reported us, thinking we were gambling. We explained it was just a board game, and it was all a misunderstanding. The police left after that. It was definitely the board game’s fault,” the OP explained in a follow-up video.

Netizens amused by group’s reaction

Following the clip, many netizens jokingly commented on their reaction of shock.

One TikTok user said the board game was the one to blame.
