- ↑ The traditional term nangsue sanya (Thai: หนังสือสัญญา) literally translates as "writing of agreement" (writing bearing an agreement). It is a compound consisting of nangsue ("writing") and sanya ("agreement"). In 2008, the Constitutional Court of Thailand ruled that the term nangsue sanya in the Constitution referred to a treaty (Khamwinitchai..., 2008, pp. 20–21).
