 BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thai stocks tumbled 3 percent Wednesday as a string of bombings over New Year's in Bangkok further shook investor confidence in the Asian nation.
In its first trading day of the year, the Stock Exchange of Thailand's benchmark SET Index fell as much as 3.8 percent before recovering some to close at 659.25, down 3 percent from Friday. The market was closed Monday and Tuesday.
Other Asian markets were not affected, with Hong Kong's benchmark index hitting a record high.
