Eight pensioners have been arrested in Bangkok for playing dominos.

The seniors - aged between 60 and 70 - were hauled off to the police station to face charges of gambling, according to Thai language publication, the Daily News. 

Thai soldiers carried out the raid.

Taken into evidence were two sets of dominos, playing cards, mahjong sets and some dice.

Thirty-two members of the Pattaya bridge club, mainly retired expats, were hauled into custody in February in a story that attracted international headlines.
