They have made it harder, sure. Thailand made a mistake by letting everybody and their brother in, post Wuhan, to ramp up the economy. Now we have content creators making content on how cheap it is to live in Thailand and you have truckloads of low rent, low life’s piling in. Everyone from acid throwers, bar girl dismemberer’s, to yet even more content creators. Yes, you have pushback from Thailand. In this post & others, this is a core complaint. I sympathize, but you knew it going in, just don't like the 'feeling' now. I doubt anyone does, but it is what it is. Are not most countries you can expatriate to similar, as in both pluses and minuses?! My Option's all had those.
