Airbnb may--or may not--be banned, but you'll find hundreds on offer as I write.

Or smoking in bars, lewd shows, riding motorcycles without helmets etc.    A new variation is "shutting down" certain businesses due to the covid pandemic.    

One would almost think the authorities ban certain activities merely to expand the base of "illegal" activities from which they can collect tea money.

I don't know.  What I do know is airbnb was banned and at least at first in Pattaya it was strictly enforced.  If it were me, I would want to make sure whether it is still banned and if it is, whether the ban is enforced or ignored.  What I would not want to do is find out the hard way.

That is what I would do.  What you would do is your own affair.
