DavidBrook Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) I have a million or so baht which I think ought to be working harder than it is. What is a good, reasonably safe investment (funds etc), what kind of return could I realistically expect and who should I go to? All advice gratefully received.

I know it isnt a fortune - I already have cash tied up in real estate in BKK (big worry). I am from UK but was really looking for advice on bonds of funds in Bangkok. What I know about this is the square root of bugger all, so advice would be welcome. Anyone in BKK getting reasonable returns on bonds/funds?

Anyone in BKK getting reasonable returns on bonds/funds? please define "reasonable". next questions are: bonds or funds in THB? funds comprising bonds or funds comprising shares? personally i don't see any reasonable returns on any investment in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyTheMook Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Kaisorkorn Bank has some interesting funds that according to their literature are performing well. I have not put any money into any of them as the tax implications were not clear when asking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
