During the reigns of King Mongkut, King Rama IV (1851 68) and King Chulalongkorn, Rama V (1868 1910), the vast majority of Siamese were rice farmers who employed simple methods and rudimentary tools to work the fields. Nevertheless, harvests were bountiful due to the climate and fertile soil, and many farmers were able to produce three harvests per year. Prior to the kings' modernisation drive, Siam's farmers had to give one-quarter of their rice harvest to the king as tax. To ensure the entire population was well fed, Siam had a law that only when three year's supply of rice was stocked, would the country export the product. Similar state monopolies existed for other foods.

Nowadays, 90% of the world's rubies come from Burma. Prized for their purity and hue, the majority of rubies are sold to Thailand. The 'Valley of Rubies', the mountainous Mogok area, 200 km north of Mandalay, is noted for its rare pigeon's blood rubies and blue sapphires. Human rights groups, however, have slammed the working conditions in the mines as horrendous.
