Aaron and Fred, thanks for the information. I called around today, and apparently Schwab, Fidelity and NDB will all handle trades on SET. Schwab and Fidelity charge normal commission rates. Schwab may discount for large orders or low-priced stocks. NDB charges $125 plus $0.02/share.

They do this by going through a market maker in the U.S. during OUR normal trading hours. The U.S. market maker, I understand, will quote a larger spread than what's quoted on the SET, in part because of currency risk/expense. If the market maker doesn't have stock in inventory, he will buy it on SET, after the Thai market opens.
