SINGAPORE, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Thai stocks fell more than 5 percent on Thursday in a second day of heavy foreign selling on concerns over the health of Thailand's king, traders said, despite comments from the palace that his health was improving.
Thailand's benchmark stock index .SETI, which has raced up more than 50 percent this year, was down 5.16 percent at a one-month low of 693.70 at 0520 GMT, led by selling in large-capitalised stocks.
Earlier, a palace official told Reuters the king's health was improving but he needed time-consuming physical therapy. [ID:nBAK000891]
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest-reigning monarch at age 81 and Thailand's single unifying figure, has been hospitalised since Sept. 19 when he was admitted with fever and fatigue. His health is an extremely sensitive topic in Thailand.
"Because we don't know what will happen about with the king's health, investors want to reduce their exposure," said a senior investment broker, who declined to be identified by name, referring to Thailand's stock market.
Premier Abhisit wil een onderzoek naar de veroorzakers van de geruchten.

Thai market rebounds 3.52%
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has instructed the investigation into the rumours on His Majesty the King's health condition which plunged the stock exchange in the past two days, while urging investors not to be swayed by rumours.
He said on Friday that there would be investigation if the rumours violated the securities and exchange law.
He said the investigation result would show if the rumours were floated on political purposes.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand Index on Friday recovered the loss, ending 24.40 points higher or 3.52 per cent to 717.12 points on turn over of Bt29.77 billion.
On Wednesday, the SET fell 2.04 per cent and on Thursday it was down 5.3 per cent as a result of massive sell orders from foreign investors on a panic fuelled by rumours about the declining health of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 81, who has been in hospital since September 19.
