Thanks in advance

Moved to the Jobs, economy, banking, business, investments forum.

What markets you going to Trade???

OP try doing a search in this forum - here is the most recent topic similar to your request with at least one recommended broker.

Theres Plenty of options brokers you can use . Interactive Brokers is one its free , i can assist you with others if needed, generally there is a monthly fee for data.

The main problem i had dealing out of BKK was latency. you never knew when the system would go down or if prices where live or delayed during busiest parts of the day.

Areas of concern/risk is your connecting server into Oz from bkk , not the same as local area connection strength. Although the Thais say its ok , in reality its a different story.

Interactive Brokers is a web based application so it gets around connectivity issues, But has its own issues anyway.

Its a great way of funding life in asia . What sort of monies you looking at ? level of experience ? frequency of trades etc this will all depend on what type system you need. Bit like a car really.

If you stuck let me know, I can hook you up with someone.

OptionsXpress is a US based on-line broker with an Office in Singapore.

The system works well with on-line banking, their website and Apps are very user friendly.

Being an Aussie, I used OptionsXpress based in the US, but now they have an Australian office where all my enquiries are handled. I'm sure you could deposit/withdraw from an Aussie bank account whilst living in Thailand. It is all done online anyway. Not sure what their policy is with regards to a Thai bank, but I'm sure their customer service people could help you out. I've always been happy with their service and platform. Cheers.
