Thailand Faces Stiff Competition in Asia's Tourism War
Take note... When the bars & nightlife have gone from Bangla (Patong) & Walking Street (Pattaya) etc. They become just another street of nothing to explore. The entertainment culture, previously put in place by expats and foreign entrepreneurs, put some tourist spots in Thailand on a solid footing for the past 40 years. This has now been eroded by stupid laws, corruption, and a multitude of other factors. Has in Blackpool UK, Benidorm Spain, and Acapulco Mexico etc. it is very possible to fall from grace/favour. The places will still be their and still be functioning, but the hay days are definably over.
