The Elimination of Extraterritoriality
Abolishing the Extraterritorial Rights of Germany and Austria-Hungary 1917
Traditionally, Thailand has always enjoyed trading with all foreign countries, Germany included. The commercial ties between Thailand and Germany had progressed satisfactorily all along. German products were very popular among the Thais, who had amicable feelings towards the Germans. During the First World War, however, Thailand became entangled in international politics and decided to join the war owing to the influence of Britain and the United States in the Far East. The peace treaty that ensued provided for the termination of Germany 's and Austria-Hungary 's extraterritorial rights in Thailand as of 22 July 1917. In 1924, Germany concluded a provisional economic arrangement with Thailand and in 1928 the two countries signed a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation based on equal rights and the principles of International Law.
