Hi all,

Does anyone know of a stock broker in Thailand that can trade on other Asian markets other than the SET? I am looking to open a trading account in Thaiiand but I also want to buy stocks and/or ETFs on other Asian markets, particularly Singapore. Any ideas?

Thanks!

You may need to set up something like Interactive Brokers for that, cover quite a lot of countries. Or maybe this upcoming ASEAN thing will free things up?

You can open an account with citibank singapore that has a brokerage facility. You can open the account remotely from here in Thailand.

Thanks for the replies. POEMS seems my best bet. @phronesis - I am just looking at Citibank Singapore but from what I read you need to be either A Singaporean resident or an employment passholder (not sure what that is) - are you sure one (a non-Singaporean, non-resident etc) can open an account there remotely from Thailand??

Thanks for that post, taking a look, may be of use.

There is an office of DBS Vickers in the office towers opposite the MBK. I think they will accept foreigners as customers.I recently had to deal with them, but I don't know how good they are.

AFAIK DBS Vickers in Singapore allows you to deal online in SG, HK, US and CAN. Other Markets are done "by hand",- at a pricey rate though.

Try out other alternatives as well: UOB and StanChart come to mind. Both at Sathorn Road. Walk in and ask.

Good luck,

Sam

You can also try UOB Kay Hian, the brokerage arm of UOB bank with offices across the ASEAN and East asia region.

If you are looking to trade the US market (equities, futures etc) I would suggest International Brokers. Contact their support at ibworldwide(dot)com
