Not only does the Thailand have problem with the Muslim in the south now a report has reviled that Arab companies and individuals are buying or trying to buy big farm lands.
If the foreign companies would be able to buy land they could just grow their own rice and other food products and ship to their countries with out buying from overprices wholesalers.
Since only very rich and powerful people in Thailand are allowed to suppress the poor and the weak in Thailand the government is trying to prevent this with a new law.
Arabs and other foreigners should not be allowed to use the cheap uneducated labor as the people in power in Thailand have done for decades.
