Agree with your post.
Certainly a number of "tourist" establishments in Hua Hin are struggling and some have closed.
Re gambling Thai wives, two of my close friends from my uni students days in Australia came to Thailand to work in the 1980s for a few years. Both couples were married in Thailand. One of the wives was a mall sales lady in Bangkok and the other a highly educated well paid professional. After both couples returned to Australia to live both marriages ended in divorce after a few years due to the wives' casino gambling addictions. Both friends told me that their wives would meet up with other Thai expats in Australia, and then go off gambling together.
My forecast is the talks will result in nothing.
To use Trump's own words "China has all the cards" they won't soften in trade talks.
It will take a few more weeks of pain in the USA for Trump's position to soften.
Empty shelves, prices rising, no containers available for export, mass demonstrations.
Where the <deleted> really hits the fan is if China & Japan collaborate to replace the international unit of currency (the dollar) with the Yen, collectively they own around 23% of US debt and have enough financial clout to easily do that.
