The Stock Exchange of Thailand (Thai: ตลาดหลักทรัพย์แห่งประเทศไทย; abbr. SET) is the only stock exchange in Thailand. Founded on 30 April 1975, it is ASEAN's 3rd largest after Indonesia Stock Exchange and Singapore Exchange by market capitalization at US$489.95 billion (both SET and mai) as of November 2023.[1] From 2015 to June 2020, it was the biggest IPO market in Southeast Asia in terms of accumulated raised fund at US$17.8 billion (THB 598.0147 billion). It is also the region's most active bourse for 10 consecutive years with daily trading turnover normally exceeding US$2 billion.

In recent years, the number of market participants has risen sharply:[2] trading accounts has increased almost 10 times from 2008 to 2022.[3]

SET index is the oldest and the most cited equity index in Thailand. It made intraday all-time high at 1852.51 on 27 February 2018, surpassing the previous high of 1789.16 on 5 January 1994.

SET has stricter price regulations than some other exchanges, normally disallowing stock prices to rise or drop more than 30% in a day.[4]
