Last January, I talked with a regular German tourist, and he said Phuket has turned ugly (unbelievable greediness). He says he's not going there anymore. For example, he was in a sauna and touched someone and they wanted 200 baht. He said it's money-hungriness like you wouldn't believe. Maybe at that time, their tourism was way down, and they were getting ugly. But I believe tourism is still way down all over Thailand.
