Firstly, what are short-dated US treasury bonds?

Short-dated US Treasuries are also known as Treasury bills (T-bills). They're debt securities issued by the US government with a maturity of one year or less, making them highly liquid.

How risky are US Treasuries?

US Treasuries are backed by the US government, making them virtually one of the safest investments around. The US government has a long history of meeting its debt obligations since it can pay off its debts by raising taxes or printing more money. As the name suggests, US Treasuries are USD-denominated, which is a safe haven currency due to the stable political and economic system of the US, and USD being widely accepted as a global reserve currency. The only credit risk associated to US Treasuries would come from the highly unlikely scenario that the US government would default.

But, note that since it's a USD-based portfolio, your returns might be subject to currency fluctuations between USD and THB.
