Well, in the hot light of the day, I'll be honest, and controversial. Maybe it's a lesson they can, and obviously need, to learn.
Perhaps it's a good thing that they screw it up and lose countless billions of $. Might wake them up a little from their hubris, certainly as the average Thai will feel it in the pocket, which is the only time when anyone takes note of anything.
Might also help solve the political bickering and handbags.
If I was to show the same indifference to them that is shown to me sometimes then I would selfishly say "Keep screwing it up you idiots, som nam na, it's better for me if no tourists come!"
It is also worth remembering that the surrounding countries have, and are, getting their acts together on the tourist front and there are many alternative destinations that can be chosen which give better value/exchange rates/hospitality/security etc.
I still won't leave as I have chosen to reside here and have invested too much time and effort to walk away, not to mention that I enjoy it here, but people like me are not the ones they want, they just want the 2 weeker types that blow a few thousand $ in a quick "let's have a jolly good blow out" by the beach, then wave goodbye and give them the infamous "smile".
Personally, the locals couldn't be doing a worse job at it at the moment, so, off you go, screw it up, you lot know best, as usual.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink!
Maybe the only solution to it all is just to let them totally screw it up by themselves, sad as it is, but it won't be me or my family that suffers because of it, we'll be fine.
F... what you said I don`t want you back (Norway)....
