My thought
Plenty recent headlines indicate the money bags of Thailand are buying foreign companies from Cambodia, Vietnam, to the US, and elsewhere.

The article points out that many of these laws have been on the books for a number of years.

My opinion, if enforced these laws would be a deathblow to Thailand's tourism industry
