Bangkok - Thai shares rose 4.07 per cent Friday in tandem with an international rebound of bourses around the world.

The Stock Exchange of Thailand index ended at 624.83, up 24.45 points.

Phumhadorn Lapudomsuk, a broker at Asia Plus Securities, said gains around the world powered the rise in Thailand. He also predicted investors would sell shares next week to lock in profits from Friday's rebound.

Like most Asian bourses, the Thai index has been on a roller coaster this week, shocked by the US government bailout of the insurer American International Group Inc and the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc and then restored by rescue measures by central banks. (dpa)
