Interesting shift happening in Thailand right now. Domestic investors are quietly pulling capital out at an accelerating pace, parking their money in foreign markets instead of local stocks. This outflow trend is becoming impossible to ignore.
What makes this particularly noteworthy? Thailand's equity market has earned the unfortunate title of Asia's worst performer so far this year. When your home market is bleeding value while neighbors are holding steady or climbing, the flight response kicks in. Can't really blame investors for seeking better returns elsewhere.
The exodus isn't just about chasing profits abroad—it reflects a deeper confidence crisis in the domestic market. When capital moves this aggressively outward, it creates a self-reinforcing cycle: more exits mean less liquidity, which drives prices down further, which triggers even more exits. Classic market psychology at work.
Worth watching how this plays out. Will policy interventions slow the drain, or are we looking at a prolonged capital flight scenario? Either way, the pressure on Thai equities isn't easing anytime soon.

This wave of escape from Thailand might really turn into a vicious cycle. Once liquidity dries up, there's no hope left.

This wave of capital outflow from Thailand, to put it simply, is a collapse of market confidence.

This wave of capital outflows from Thailand... is really a self-reinforcing death spiral. Once it starts, it can't be stopped.

The Thai stock market is really going to crash now... Everyone from our side has left, so who do we expect to save us?
