Based on my random subjective observations when talking with Thais it seems two things are at play.
Thais are really starting to feel the inflationary pressures. Everything costs more and they are not making any more.
Thai parents are working crazy hours to try and make money while totally ignoring thier kids.
@Minder
You make a great point. My GF never mentioned anything security related when we were abroad. But since we have been back she mentions something nearly everyday.
Now, the stray soi dogs have gone from being pests needing to be poisoned, to the new soi guard dogs. Thinking is they know who actually lives on the soi (and know the cars and bikes). Some of the thai ladies had a talk with them after the last break-in. The dogs are now very good with only barking loudly at strangers at night. Daytime or if they know the people/bike/car then no barking. Honestly it's true. So they've been getting more scraps lately.
