Found out why there were loads of Thai people in Neot Hakikar. Apparently, after the intifada started, the Arab workers were told to seek alternative employment elsewhere and needed to be replaced. Their replacements needed to be used to working in the fields in pretty extreme heat - the Thais fitted the description.
Even today there is difficulty for other South East Asians getting into Israel, because there's an agreement with the Thai Government.
