18 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Migrant construction workers from Myanmar (Burma) buy fruit from a Thai fruit vendor on Sukhumvit Soi 16 in Bangkok. They are working a construction site building a new hotel. Bangkok is experiencing a construction boom that is reshaping the city skyline. Most of the construction workers are from the Isan region of northeastern Thailand, but many also come from Laos and Myanmar to work in the Thai construction trade because they can make more than twice as much in Thailand and they can in their countries of origin.
