I may be wrong, but I think I heard, or read, that almost all of the greige goods - raw cotton fabric - is from Pakistan. Perhaps it is the dyeing and finishing portion of the job that has been moved to Thailand or Indonesia?

As to quality solids, I rather like RJR's Cotton Supreme. To my hands, it feels softer than Kona Cotton (though it isn't as well known as a brand).
is it possible that kona is making two different qualities?

I'm not aware that Kaufman is making two different grades, one for the chains and one for the quilt shops. I'd be rather surprised if they were doing that.
