For centuries, gold has been one of the most sought after precious metal and the most popular as an investment. Many have fallen in love to its unique blend of near indestructibility, beauty, and rarity features. Other than that it is also a hedge, protection and insurance against economic, political, social or currency-based crises that include investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest.

Recently, the Capital Market Supervisory Board approved the venture of the gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Thailand stock market. The board agreed last month to permit two different types of gold ETFs into the market namely ETF feeder fund investing in an overseas gold fund and an ETF directly investing in gold bullion in the local market.

By that there is no better time to buy gold bullion than today. Thai people need not to worry as the Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to work with the Stock Exchange of Thailand to assist in educating local investors. Remember, gold bullion holds its value and provides easier liquidity than most other investments.
