I've spoken with a few of westerner businessmen in Thailand now, and they re-iterate much the same sentiments. My view has become "go there as a tourist who happens to spend several months on business" as opposed to "go there with a view to doing business with the locals". Likewise I have met some lovely Thai people. They are very caring and welcoming.
