This is an estimation of stock market of Vietnam, Thailand, and Philippines


Vietnam (around $20+ Billion)


Thailand (around $200+ Billion)


Philippines (around $200+ Billion)



QUOTE
The number of Vietnamese companies traded has climbed to 50 from just two when the stock exchange opened in 2000. At the end of 2006, companies listed on the main market had a combined market capitalization of $13.5 billion. While that still is small, compared with the $191 billion market in the Philippines or Thailand's $197 billion market, for example, it suggests that there is room to grow.

Thus, Vietnam's market continues to attract day traders
