The aim of this thesis is to study the role of WTO in the settlement of trade disputes between Thailand and the US. The study is done in the form of comparative analysis of the settlements that were bilaterally negotiated and multilaterally settled through GATT/WTO. Two cases of study are the main theme of this thesis: the disputes over cigarettes and shrimps between 1985-1999. The final aim is to compare what will give more benefit to Thailand between the settlement of disputes in the frame of GATT/WTO and bilateral negotiation between Thailand and the US. The regime theory and the concept of power and interdependence are used as framework of this thesis. The study found that bilateral negotiation on trade disputes between Thailand and the US. has often given more advantages to the US. while multilateral settlement through GATT/WTO on the cases of cigarettes and shrimps has given more choices of the good of Thailand because GATT/WTO's decision which comes from the provisions, principles, and rules that have been generally approved by the member states has to be followed by all the members including the US.
