Trading Etfs On The Set

[lukeskywalker]

I want to trade the 3 ETFs available on the SET (TDEX, TFTSE, and ENGY). However, for whatever reason a normal broker cannot do this for me. I went to one (named INK ENG I think) in Chiang Mai and was told that these ETFs can be traded via banks. I thought this odd, but TIT so oh well.

Anyway, has anyone traded these securities and have experience setting up an account with their bank to use them as a broker? I was told Siam Commercial Bank, at which I already have a normal savings account, can perform this service for me, but when I went into a couple of branches all I got were blank stares.

Any info?
