Compound interest accounts or investments through Thai banks?

[Cheesekraft]

Hello, I am just wondering if there are any options for this; whether it is investing in a "low risk" fixed deposit savings account, or a higher risk investment fund, are there any options for a foreigner to invest with Thai Baht for long-term gains? Thank you!

Never invest more in Thailand than you are prepared to lose.

that is good advice, but you can generalize even more; you should never invest more than you are prepared to lose in anything. I would also say you shouldn't really trust any bank with any amount of money you would be devastated if it were lost, stolen, etc, more so in Thailand than in most places. Thay said, with some Thai baht income, keeping it in a checking account is obviously losing money to inflation and I would rather take a higher degree of risk and see some returns on it than watch it dwindle.

All the usual options are available: bank time deposits and savings account (neither of which are investments) and funds that invest in the Thai stock market (which you can also do from outside of Thailand).

Who would leave money in a checking account?
