So, the TAT awards itself 10 out of 10 for it's performance in spite of the overall decline in the numbers of higher spending visitors. 300 baht is a small issue. Way more important is the need for the Thai govt to decide, once and for all, whether it wants westerners to visit and/or reside in Thailand, or not.

Married to my Thai wife for 40 years. She is 68 I am 82. We are still happy together. She is a great cook, drives a car with skill, and enjoys a laugh. I consider myself a lucky man.
So, in your opinion our borders are being controlled. For starters, quite a few people seem to be entering illegally via the channel, almost every day.
The majority, at all levels, were opposed to Britain being dragged into a second world war. At the same time, however, the majority supported a major increase in Britain's defensive capability on the land and sea, and in the air.
