Fresh seafood in local restaurants?

Re: US and Thailand Tax Treaty

A saving hinges on the definition of “assessable income.” This is the simple layer of the tax treaty (can see on IRS website by searching on “treaty”) they also have a more detailed document that clarifies things. It gets more complicated from there.
