From the linked Aljazeera article The enforcement push comes as some local businesses complain about being undercut by foreigners. “There are foreigners who invest in villas and convert them into Airbnbs, and once they’ve developed them, Thai people can no longer touch them price-wise,” Thong, a prominent Thai businessman who asked to be identified only by his nickname, told Al Jazeera. “This isn’t Thailand’s fault,” said Ramsden of Lawyers for Expats Thailand. “No one put a gun to the foreigners’ heads. They come to Thailand, and most of their common sense goes out the window,” he said. “This is about the people not following the rules. This crackdown is going to be better and safer for Thailand.”
