Second The students who had invested and those who did not, were significantly different in the level of financial knowledge, ability to take risk, willingness to take risk, investment personality, and expected return. Finally, the model of factors affecting Thailand higher education students' financial instrument investment was suitable, and the accuracy of the model to predict Thailand higher education students' financial instrument investment was 69.60%.
