Global businesses and musicians could band together and form a worldwide boycott of all Thai related products and tourism.

Artists Against Apartheid and Oxfam are examples of this with similar results.

There are other boycotts who were there first, and are more deserving in my eyes.

"The Royal Thai Government reaffirms our commitment to combat the migrant workers' exploitation in a holistic manner … and stands ready to work with all stakeholders in order to enhance our labour practices in alignment with the international labour standards,"
