First they lose their biggest Golf tournament Jonny Walkers in Phuket to Korea cause of a ban of alchol advertising.
By the way...this statement is nonsense.
The Johnnie walker Classic is a moveable feast.....last held in Phuket in 1998....and held only 3 times in thailand in the last 11 years....so how this has been affected by the alcohol advertising ban that has not yet started, you alone only seem to know!
Will the name change to MattSG1 cost much on your birth certificate?

Well, if it does drive the cost of punting back down out of the (relative) stratosphere, at least no one will be able to call BigDUSA a cheap charlie at 500ST/1000LT good to go! Nor me, and all my "I'm too poor" whining excuses I give my regulars, to get away with affordable s/t prices, lol!

Thailand given two-week ultimatum on Johnnie Walker Classic
BANGKOK: -- Thailand's new interim government, which plans to ban alcohol advertising next month, has been given two weeks to decide whether it will allow Johnnie Walker to use its logo and brand to promote a major golf tournament in Phuket next year.
Riche Monde, the Thai distributors of Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, has pressed the government to make its decision soon, or face losing the 15-year-old tournament to either South Korea or South Africa.
"We are still waiting for the government to respond, and the Johnnie Walker Classic organising committee has given Riche Monde two weeks to let them know whether we will proceed with holding the tournament in Thailand," the company said in an email interview with Reuters.
Local media said Johnnie Walker had already invested around $2.7 million in the tournament, which is due to be held at the Blue Canyon resort in Phuket from March 1-4.
That sum included appearance fees for top players such as Ernie Els and Adam Scott, who would be allowed to pull out of the event if the venue was switched, the reports said.
HUGE LOSSES
Thailand's new military-backed government plans to ban alcohol advertising in all forms of media from Dec. 1 in a bid to curb underage drinking and slash domestic alcohol consumption, which has tripled in the last 14 years.
The country's culture ministry is also considering restrictions on alcohol promotions in public areas by scantily-clad "pretties", many of whom use their income to pay for their university education.
The proposed measures are likely to have a major impact on the Kingdom's sports tournaments, which rely heavily on corporate sponsorship from major liquor brands.
Riche Monde said that alcohol companies backing major events might think twice about hosting them in Thailand, which would also lead to huge losses in tourism revenue.
"Given the calibre of the event, the change in location would be noticed worldwide among the sports community," the company said.
"Alcohol companies that are major sponsors of international sporting events will have to reconsider holding them in Thailand if they can't use their names in conjunction with the event."
Riche Monde said Johnnie Walker had also agreed to promote Phuket as a high-end golf and spa destination to help rebuild the holiday island's battered tourism industry following the 2004 tsunami.

Sounds to me like what Matt pointed out is to be true -- and they are thinking of pulling out of the planned March venue if the Thai government doesn't change their policy -- and yes, this could cost the local economy a mint sum.

Yep...sure looks that way....although
the statement said "First they lose"...compared to..."two weeks to decide"...so they havent lost it yet....that's what I was referring to.....sort of....
How am I doing?
As usual, potential legislation, announced, not thought through, and not passed and possibly withdrawn....TIT
