I just noticed that broker fees in Thailand’s stock market fluctuate a lot in practice. They depend on which account type you choose and which broker you go with. If you trade only a small amount of stocks, the minimum fee becomes a big problem. But if you can find a broker with no minimum fee, it’s definitely worth it.

Based on the collected information, the brokers that look most interesting for people with smaller capital are SBI ไทย Online, which charges only a 0.075% broker fee for a Cash Balance account with no minimum fee at all. Liberator is also a good option if you want to save as much as possible, because they charge a 0% broker fee.

But if you trade in large volumes, the 0.15–0.20% rate charged by other brokers isn’t that bad—especially if they provide good service and analysis, such as Kasikornbank or UOB, which have a minimum fee of 50 baht but offer comprehensive services.

The important thing is to know where broker fees come from. Since brokers have to act as intermediaries to buy and sell stocks through the stock exchange, they need to earn income from these broker fees. Therefore, choosing a broker that fits our trading method is extremely important. Whether it’s a Cash Balance account or a Cash Account, the broker fees are different.

In fact, to choose intelligently, you need to look at how much we plan to trade per month and calculate how much the total fees will be. Some brokers may be cheaper by rate but have high minimum fees; others may be more expensive by rate but have no minimum fee—so you need to compare them in detail.
