Dear Sir
India has signed a Comprehensive Agreement with "The Goverment of the Kingdom of Thailand" to avoid the double taxation effect.
As per Article-6 & and Article-13 of DTAA the Income Arise in the Contracting Country may be taxed in Contracting Country.
And as per Section 90/91 of Income Tax Act 1961 you can claim the benefit of DTAA for the Taxes paid in the Contracting country (i.e. Thailand)
