Dear readers,
I've used the search function on Thailandblog and come across a number of older questions, but nothing that really covers the load, and perhaps things have changed in recent years. I have been investing in shares through various Dutch brokers for several years now. But now that I have my life here in Thailand, I wonder what my options are to open an account here too?
I have read that this is possible through the large well-known banks, but in the Netherlands, for example, this is relatively expensive compared to other parties such as Degiro or Binck. I also try to get a little insight into the pros and cons of investing through a Thai broker or a Dutch one. What about taxes? What are the costs per transaction? Which party has good (English-language) software and access to the major well-known international markets? What about reliability? What should I definitely not overlook?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone with experience could give me some pointers on this. Many thanks in advance!
Some extra info about what I'm looking for:
- I am not a day trader, I invest with a long term view.
- I look with a very sharp eye at stocks that pay good dividends and increase annually.
- Although ETFs are sometimes interesting, I prefer single stocks. I am therefore not interested in simply putting money into a mutual fund or something like that
- I'm not really interested in investing in Thai stocks, I just find it more difficult to gather information about it than in the Western world. So access to the usual global markets is a must.
Regards,
Maarten
I don't understand why you would go to all that trouble if you can invest with Binckbank in Thailand. I've been doing it for years with no problem. Certainly if you do not intend to invest in Thai shares, which is understandable, it seems to offer some added value. And it won't cost you a penny more at Binckbank if you're in Thailand.
Good afternoon Martin,
I'm looking for exactly the same and also at the moment

Dear,
Binck bank works closely with Wilgenheage, see the Wilgenheage site.
A very good return for many years.
Dear Martin,
Binckbank works closely with Wilgenhaege, a very reliable club for many years.
Good advice, tailored to personal wishes, and a clear risk profile.
We have had a good return for years (average between 9 and 12 percent net per year)
Achieved results are of course no guarantee, but still.
Success.
I don't quite understand either.
A little investor should know better…
Open an account with interactive brokers and you can buy worldwide.
M.vr.gr.
If you want to invest in good European and US stocks, I recommend you check out Interactive Brokers. Low rates, you can put together your own data bundles for on-line or delayed data, and a great platform for trading.
I have an nvdr account with bualuang the securities branch of bangkok bank, email me [email protected] nickname NONG speaking excellent English about the possibilities,
All charges are deducted from daily transactions immediately. Works fine over internet connections etc.
When I am in Thailand I have been investing through ING for more than 20 years and in recent years through De Giro.
A Dutch broker is familiar to me, never any problems.
