Having been holidaying and living in Thailand since 2002 (living there for the past 2 military takeovers). I have witnessed the steady decline and changes in attitude. If I didn't have family ties I would never set foot in Thailand even though I have a house there. 2/3/4 times pricing for foreigners all sanctioned by government, pavements unusable especially if your disabled, floods, Rabies and unimaginable numbers of soi dogs or latch key dogs roaming streets and beaches in tourist areas. Tourists being attacked by packs of men at every opertunity. Not even mentioning the deadly roads. Thailand needs a total change in attitude from the top down. It is a beautiful country with many wonderful people but it feels as though it has purposely been turned into a cesspool by those at the top table/trough!!
