Somewhere is this discussion is the original meaning of 'expat'.
In the past a label used for foreigners / anybody who was sent by their employer to represent / work for their employer in another country, often with a higher salary and often with a range of benefits e.g: housing, car, paid trips back to home country, kids school fees paid etc.
Nowadays the label seems to mean any foreigner, employed / not employed in Thailand .. if employed often on a local contract no special benefits, employer could be a foreign company but the employee is labelled as a 'local hire'. Or employer is a Thai company perhaps with foreign management / foreign staff, and Thai staff.
Good thing tourism and business travel will most likely be less of an issue. At least if history is any guide
