Behind this cute music video by stoplesemajeste, there's a very sad story indeed. It's the story of the Akha people of northern Thailand, whose land has been stolen by the Chakri "queen", and no I don't mean Sirikit.
Thailand regards the Akhas as "illegal immigrants" and plants trees on their land so they can't grow rice, as a result they often go hungry. Thai police patrol the area with vicious dogs to ensure that the trees are not damaged.
The result of this ethnic cleasing á la Bhumibol, is that these poor people have to abandon their lands and work in Bhumibol's Bangkok brothels to subsist. Good one your majesty! Is that what you mean by "sufficiency economics"?
