Will the DTV visa lead to westernization and commercialization in Thailand?

The discussion revolves around concerns about the DTV visa potentially leading to increased westernization and commercialization in Thailand. Many commenters argue that the visa's impact will be minimal, noting that only a small percentage of people qualify for it. Others highlight that current remote workers likely had similar visa types before and that the DTV visa simply formalizes their status. The overall sentiment suggests that while there may be demographic shifts, significant changes in local culture or economy are not expected.
