Bankers warn deliberate defaulters

The Thai Bankers' Association warned that borrowers who intentionally default could face legal action and be barred from future credit, after social media posts encouraged defaults on loans from Clicx Bank. TBA chairman Payong Srivanich, also president of Krungthai Bank, cited Thailand’s low tax participation and said virtual banks use alternative data to improve inclusion. He also said Thailand’s outlook is uncertain in 2H 2026.

Analysts recommend defensive equities

Asia Plus Securities says Thai investors should favor defensive stocks amid geopolitical tensions and expectations of higher-for-longer rates. Top picks are PTTEP (benefiting from higher crude prices, strong Q2 earnings and dividends), KTB (supported by net interest margins and asset quality) and SJWD (earnings recovery H2). FSSIA also favors banks, citing resilient earnings and valuations near 1x P/B.
