It is possible to set up a brokerage account to invest in Thai stocks as a Thai tax resident under a non-O visa?

Answer summary

Expats in Thailand holding a non-O visa can set up a brokerage account to invest in Thai stocks. While some users express skepticism about the stock market's performance, indicating a significant downturn, others suggest alternative investments like government bonds or gold. Additionally, an option for those looking to diversify is the iShares Thailand ETF, which tracks the MSCI index.

Leaving aside the issue of whether it's wise to do so, another way to diversify into Thai stock would be to buy the iShares Thailand ETF which tacks Thailand's MSCI Index and trades the New York stock Exchange under the symbol THD.

You mean to use a Thai brokerage to buy stocks that have nothing to do with Thailand right. Their market is sh*t, down 50% in the last 5 years. All the Thai companies are horrible and have major issues. Thailand is in a recession for a reason.
