Just noticed that trading fees between different brokers really vary a lot. Some charge 0.15%, some 0.075%, and some don’t charge anything at all. If you trade in large volumes, you can definitely feel that this difference matters more.

I then looked into the details of each one and found that Bualuang, Innovest X, Kasikorn, and Thanachart charge a standard stock trading fee rate of 0.15% for Cash Balance accounts and 0.20% for Cash Account accounts. SBI is cheaper at 0.075% and 0.10%. Liberator is really the standout— they don’t charge any commission at all.

What I’m presenting: these stock trading fees are calculated based only on placing orders yourself via the internet. If you get a broker to help you, it will be more expensive. This also doesn’t include the stock exchange fee and a 7% VAT. When choosing a broker, you need to check whether they have a minimum daily fee too, because if you buy a small amount but there’s a minimum commission, you could end up losing money.
