Thai Stock Market

[monitorlizard]

Curious about the regulations of buying Thai stocks as a foreigner but on a 1 year visa (marriage to Thai visa).

Been thinking about playing but want to keep secret from wife. Am only talking about $1,000 - $2,000 USD.

Can I use my daughter who is 2 months old?

HI I play the thai market regularly. There are no restrictions except that if you want dividends you must buy the nvdversion of the stock, it simply means you have no voting rights. the thai market is very volitile so if you don't know what your doing you'd best invest in midium to long term quality stocks such as shin , Bigc,centel,kk,ubc,bec,siri ,gold,krp,,,,,,,,these are some of the leaders in the small and medium cap clasification.Stay away from speculative stocks.You should also consider a growth mutual fund,you'll get the benifits of the grwing stock market and the pro's will do all the trades .I've doubled my I million investment in the Aberdeen mutual growth fund in less that 2 years there real pro's...........................good luck.........shemmy
