I think there may be a few people who will find this article from the Bangkok Post interesting.

Fear of a banana republic | Bangkok Post: news (http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/special-reports/1002181/fear-of-a-banana-republic)

Conversions of units of measure used in the article:
One acre equals approximately 2.6 rai, a measure of area commonly used in thailand.

The 300 Thai baht per day that most of of the workers receive equals about US$8.50
