Investing in Thailand: The US-Thai Amity Treaty

What is the Thai-US Treaty of Amity?
A little bit of background. The Thai-US Treaty of Amity between the US and Thailand is actually the second amity treaty between the US and Thailand. It was executed in 1966 and ratified in 1968. Originally the treaty was for a period of 10 years. At the end of the ten years period the parties had the option to terminate it. None of them did and the Amity was in effect until 2005 when it finally expired.
Why then bother to discuss a treaty that expired a few years ago? Because we are in Thailand and things are not always what they seem to be. So bear with me.
