Here's the thing: cannabis gives people the munchies, and that usually means more business for restaurants. Plus, a lot of tourists love that they can enjoy cannabis in Thailand, making it another reason for them to visit.
 

So, if Thailand bans liberal cannabis use, it could make things even tougher for Thai restaurants. It’s a bit of a double whammy, potentially cutting off a source of business and taking away a draw for tourists who come here partly for the cannabis.

Not to worry the new casinos will bring the tourists back to town. Rich tourists

That's a rather misleading statement, maybe in Bangkok where the resident population is substantial but certainly not in the resort regions like Phuket, Samui etc etc. The current real problem is there are just too many restaurants because the authorities exercise no control but thats Thailand isn't it! . New restaurants just keep opening so obviously when low season comes around many go out of business. It will continue like this until city Mayors start implementing control of new business's starting up, its called "Town planning"
