Hi,

- To invest you need to register at one of official brokers :

http://www.set.or.th/set/memberlist.do?language=en&country=US

- Yes most will pay dividend. % varies a lot.

And not always yearly; can be every 6 months or 3 months too.

- There is a by-default 10% tax for non-Thai

Edit: There is a topic about the SET, running, slowly...

i believe the tax you can get back if you leave the country before every 180 days..

also when buying stock NVDR ask your broker to convert it to foreign for better tax breaks...
