But I wonder if foreigners working legally in US, paying tax and SS will still have to pay the foreign rate same as in Thailand

Yes I read it thanks but it is unclear..here you are charged more regardless, unless you have Thai nationality...does US residents mean foreigners also...paying tax and SS, or those with Green Cards?

Where was this? Best to avoid stalls where they have no prices
