How does double taxation work for expats in Thailand with DTV approval?

@Paul **********

it depends on the amount the US taxes you as Thailand's tax schedule may be higher

Say you pay 20% in the US and Thailand is 30 % than you will be possibly be responsible for the difference of 10% to Thailand onto of the 20% to the US ...Just depends on how much you make
