That's interesting. Could you share some of your thoughts on which shares you prefer?

Really ? What interest will SET pay you?

Kasikorn, SCB, PTT, Lumpini and Sansiri for now.

I'll be arriving to Thailand soon and was wondering about investing around $500,000 US dollars. This is practically all the money I have as I am not working anymore. Are rental properties a wise idea or should I stick to markets? I understand you are not allowed to own a land in Thailand, but you can own a condo?

Would opening an account with HSBC be a wise idea. Does Thailand still have an HSBC branch?

Please, don't come troll.

Jasus Jones is bang on the coin.

Those would not be my choices, but to be fair I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with your investments. If you are going to invest in the SET and/or the MAI I would suggest that you take a look at thaistocks.com. It's not cheap, there is a subscription for a six-month membership for €340 (Euro) or a one-year membership for €630 (Euro) but the advice that the site owner gives is pretty good. He almost certainly would not recommend the stocks that you have brought. I have been a member of thaistocks.com for quite a few years and have done very well following some of his advice.

Other Thai stock sites that are worth looking at are;
ThaiCapitalist.com | Insights into the SET Index & Thai Stocks excellent site, worth looking at daily although the updates are not always daily.
SETTRADE.COM - Leading Technology for Professional Investors good for the basic researching of stocks
Barton's Global Market Trends a bit too technical for me but a lot of good info
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Barto...s/179071478335 same as above
Thailand Archives - DealStreetAsia
Thailand | Economic Indicators

Have money too much can make people ting tong sometime too?

I would not invest 1 satang in the SET at the moment. We are looking at at least 1 year of uncertianty.

Everyone scared...and not sure about thailand now..

Some have worked their way to the top, and respect every moment they did.

usually 20 or 25 midcap, avoid bank stocks or megcaps at all costs, the trap for newbies and amateurs
