“Money Channel presents live programs from 09:00 hours each weekday, with highlights such as discussion of domestic and international economic issues, enriched by insights and analysis from leading economists such as Dr. Olarn Chaiprawat and Dr. Anusorn Tamajai. Every day, Mr. Sombat Narawutthichai, Secretary-General of Securities Analysts Association (SAA), will give his observations on the Thai stock market before the morning trading session.
