Thai share prices closed 2.0 percent higher on Wednesday as investors welcomed news of tycoon Warren Buffett's 5 billion US dollars investment in Goldman Sachs, they said. They said the Thai bourse rose in line with the regional markets and a rebound of high-cap shares in the bank and communications sectors drove the index up.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) composite index advanced 12.18 points to close at 620.43 points, while the blue chip SET-50 rose 10.56 points to 436.44.
