Lately, investing in gold seems to be an increasingly better option. Gold prices keep rising, and major banks are projected to reach $4,500-$5,000 per ounce around 2026-2027. There appears to be room for growth. Investing in gold through apps is more convenient than visiting stores or handling cash the traditional way.

Currently, there are many gold trading apps to choose from, but you need to understand what type of trading you want to do. There are two main types: Spot (actual gold bars) and CFD (Contracts for Difference). They are quite different.

If you want to trade CFDs to profit from price fluctuations, recommended apps are Mitrade, Pepperstone, and IC Markets. These have low spreads and support multiple platforms. Mitrade is user-friendly and suitable for beginners. Pepperstone and IC Markets are great for serious traders with many tools.

But if you want to invest in actual gold savings, like physical gold bars, Thai apps with good quality include MTS (Mae Thong Sook), Gold Now (Siam Commercial Bank x Huosengheng), and AUSIRIS. These allow you to withdraw actual gold. MTS has relatively low fees. Gold Now is connected directly to Siam Commercial Bank, so deposits and withdrawals are fast. AUSIRIS is suitable for casual savings or DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging), starting from just a thousand baht.

In fact, investing in gold doesn’t need to be rushed. Try opening demo accounts on each app first, using virtual money to test. See which one is more convenient and suits your style. Personally, I think CFD is better for short-term trading, while Spot is ideal for those who want to accumulate real gold. However, always consider your initial capital and the fees of each app.
