I heard from people with bookings coming up in December and January and some who have booked using Marriott points ... all being honored by the property. So you shouldn't have any problem for July stay.

With all due respect and condolences to the affected,
... we should see some great Thailand hotel bargains in the next 6 months or so.

In other words, getting into a price-war and cutting revenue by half to gain an extra 10-percent in bookings generated less revenue and more operating expense than simply holding the line on revenue and forgoing the discount travellers.
This being Thailand, gentlemen's agreements to hold prices are probably common, once all parties understand it is in their best interest.
That said, a fatman can dream ...

Single Asian visa.... Wouldn't that be awesome.
... but, how long until we see that reality? before 2016? I doubt it.
There are buckets of cash in visa fees within those 65 million tourists. And they're going to do what, revenue sharing?
I guess we could only dream.
