My view is very different to yours, and that’s not a problem.
It comes back to what you’re looking for exactly.
Thailand has always been a multi level punting market with very varying price ranges for basically the same thing.
One thing to remember is that Thais, other than the Hi-SO’s and very rich, don’t pay the prices tourists pay.
And many of those places allow farangs in, in discreet ways.
Also, there are areas that cater more so for permanent tourists, expats, per se.
And again there the prices are way cheaper, and often the quality just as good.
As many a SYT enters the Thai working girl market through their extended family connections into bars, massage, etc..
And in those quieter places, bargains are often to be found, and will continue to be so...

Lastly my view on supply is very different to you.
There are probably a million Thai countryside girls between 18 and 30 in Isaan waiting for it to open back up.
Ones who have been there before wanting to go back, and new ones wanting to start that haven’t before and need to for extended family financial reasons. These can be back, available and working in days.

For super cheap rates...
The punting explorers should head to Cambodia, or even Laos...
Ive traveled pretty extensively over the past 15 or so years mostly in Thailand but also other places in south east asia so i was thinking the same .punting isn't my sole reason for going there and yes there is value to be found outside the usual tourist traps.i did do a few punting only trips to the Philippines wich were fun haven't been to Cambodia or laos yet but have heard a few good things and they are on the list
