it sounds like you've outgrown the country... money, image having the most followers on Instagram...  it's gets relatively less fulfilling...  things in Western countries: meaningful discussion, health and longevity, individualism and entrepreneurialism become increasingly of more value.  I'm always reminded of the Thai word for evil 'chûua' is very closely associated with deviate/ divert time from the 'normal' (used in demarcating time temporarily e.g. chûua mohng).

No need to watch anymore.  These 'Real' scammers scratch/ touch their face conspicuously to let their team know it's a fake video.  In conjunction this Zmen (his friend naively called the Jman), the hexagon logo in his YouTube, all too obvious...  it's all recorded on record too.  When this comes out, well... then people will 'truly' learn the meaning between not 'not knowing' and 'not caring'.  It will be one hell of an ego trip...

price inflation which puts a financial squeeze on those further down the food chain.

 

The second thing I think you fail to recognize is that having 'x' amount of money in the bank or showing 'x' amount of money coming into a bank account doesn't necessarily mean that someone who meets those requirements is actually spending any more than the next guy. 

Finally someone who gets it the greatest threat to this country...   inflation!  I've got motorcycle drives around here getting paid 10 baht per ride & my wife who has relatively ok job offers a 5% salary increase once every 5 years - this is the normal people.  Their Prime Minister is only consistent on one thing: keep foreign investors happy.  If you have inequality, growth = inflation & Thailand is one of the most heavily skewed societies.  They know full well it is a trick saying "higher wages" when inflation will strip them of this difference and beyond.

The Second paragraph yes it's 'Velocity of money'.  I do not have so much money but what I do, it flys around.  Do they not know what the Economic studies say whether it is 400,000,000 stuck in an offshore account or 400-800,000 stuck in a Thai bank account, it is not moving into community so it achieves nothing, literally 'it goes nowhere'. 

It is the Foreign Real Estate Developers buying up Thai-land that puts pressure on this country.  If you are not someone who profits off 10 lots of 20 Rai of leased land to hide in a bank account so you can abuse the purchasing power, then you are not the problem, Immigration!
