Russian tourists
Why? Russians spent a lot of money in Thailand and are rarely involved in altercations with the locals. Imagine if they banned the British? The news outlets would go bankrupt. Still, nobody advocates for it because the majority are decent folk. -

Foreigners Flaunting Wealth in Thailand: How Is It Viewed?
Guessing a bit here: I suspect that Thais regard foreigners who are flaunting wealth in a different light to that in which they view wealthier members of their own community. In the latter case, respect, especially if wealth acquired substantially by their own efforts. In the former case, a useful indication that here is someone who could be fleeced. Of course that can happen anywhere. I remember a couple I knew in the Dordogne telling me how their friend Josephine Baker, after she purchased the chateau des Milandes as an orphanage, was seriously defrauded by local people. In about 1990, at the time that Eastern Europe was opening up and a long-time friend of mine was envisaging expanding his business there, I sent him an article from the French business magazine "Challenges". The article warned those planning to do business in Eastern Europe that the rules of honesty commonly observed by nationals of the countries involved did not apply to foreigners. To my consternation he disregarded this. Subsequently doing work for his company in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary, I found it necessary to re-assert a tight financial control over operations there.
