This is all about protecting Thai tradition. Let in MMA and in the long term, which is how the governmant are thinking, and Thai will not be the same.

Elite Fighters will move over to MMA, so commercially this could impact Thai. More MMA gyms will open in Thai, which could be ran by westerners employing the odd Thai coach to teach an adaptation of the Thai style, which will impact local Thai only gyms. Students will dilute the style in it's entirety, its not just about MMA fighters learning how to throw knee's and elbows. The Thai style may change with MMA in mind for people dabling in both or going to Thailand to learn e.g. widen the Thai stance, hunch over more, which will be to accomodate the take down element of MMA. Over 5-10 years you would see the impact of this decision if it was allowing MMA in.

I think it's a good move by the governmant to protect Thailand and it's culture, i do however think it's a shame as it would be good seeing some Thai's make a transition to MMA.
