Access to the Thai stock market for retailers

I shall attempt to share some information in response to reader Shuaka's question in my previous post;

1. How do we buy thai stocks in SG
There are a few local brokers that offer access to the Thai market, such as CIMB, POEMS, OCBC, DBSV.

2. Local brokers buy offline and high comm charges
You can place your orders via the online trading platform as you normally do for SGX. You have to expect some delay in your orders getting processed as they are handled manually by the central dealers. By default, your platform's price feed should be about 15minutes delayed. I highly recommend getting access to real time feeds. An economical shortcut will be to load the prices via the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)'s website, if you do not mind the hassle.

Here are some snippets of the commission charges;
