This article in The Guardian should not surprise. Thailand looks to be following Spain (possibly others) in not enjoying some British tourists. What is different here is the change to Visas. Obviously not always Brits.

Couple with travel costs, carriers may notice the change.

I doubt that. The change has very little to do with misbehaving tourists and all to do with illegal business operations, predominantly by Israelis and Russians that has caused issues with the already xenophobic attitudes that prevail within Thailand.
