Shareholder Letter (unaudited)

July 6, 2012

Dear Shareholders:

The management of The Thai Capital Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") would like to take this opportunity to update its shareholders about the Thai stock market and the Fund's performance for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Thai Stock Market Overview

For the first half of 2012, the Stock Exchange of Thailand ("SET") Index increased 146.79 points or 14.32% to close at 1172.11, with daily average turnover of Baht 29.6 billion. Foreign investors posted net buying of Baht 64.1 billion.

In January, the Thai stock market performed outstandingly as external factors were supportive for risk assets. U.S. economic figures generally surprised on the upside during the month, notably those related to the U.S. labor market. More importantly, stress in European bond and money markets eased after the three-year Long-term Refinancing Operations ("LTRO") program from the European Central Bank ("ECB") was effective in boosting liquidity in the banking system. Strength in the energy sector and to a lesser extent the telecom sector drove the SET Index, while Thai banks underperformed the market due to uncertainty about Financial Institutions Development Fund ("FIDF") fees to be charged.

The market continued its bullish pattern in February, as foreign investors were in on the 'risk-on' mode and poured liquidity into Asian, including Thai, bourses. The high confidence that Greece would escape a disorderly default and the signs of ample liquidity from both the ECB and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank were major reasons for the increased risk appetite. The energy sector led the pack after tensions between Western countries and Iran drove oil price to a high level during the month.

Thai stocks remained on an upward trend in March, as the favorable result of the Greek Private Sector Involvement ("PSI") bond swap, the second LTRO and the overall resilience of U.S. economic data. Because investors had a cautious view on bonds and commodities they swapped into stocks. Domestic plays like banks, telecom and property led the rally, while energy was down slightly for the month.

The market was much more volatile in April, but still managed to generate a positive return given the strong buying during the final week of the month. Early in April, disappointing U.S. economic data and increased concerns about China's economic growth pulled the SET Index down to test near the psychological level of 1,150. However, U.S. economic conditions appeared to regain momentum in the middle of the month and most of the first quarter 2012 earnings results beat market expectations. The market recovered strongly and closed at a new high post 1997 crisis.

The market experienced a drastic correction in May as European political and economic risks pressured global risky assets. The most influential factor was Greece, which had a political deadlock after a coalition government could not be formed following the general election on May 6. In addition, pressure on Spanish financial markets also mounted as its bond yields rose near the level seen before the issuance of LTRO in the fourth quarter of 2011. As a result, foreign investors took profits on Thai stocks, alongside the weakening Thai Baht.

In June, the Thai market moved up moderately as investors reacted positively to Greek election results, which reduced the risk for a Greek euro exit. Later on, the announcement of the banking bailout of EUR100 billion for Spain and the agreement on European Union summit to leverage the European Financial Stability Facility ("EFSF") and the European Stability Mechanism ("ESM") also drove risk assets notably in the last week of the month. Political factors in Thailand also turned more stable after the Thai parliament withdrew sensitive issues, i.e., the reconciliation bill and charter revamp, from the parliament's consideration.

Thai Stock Market Outlook

The SET Index is expected to rebound in early July in response to more concrete action taken at the EU summit than anticipated. Also brightening sentiment is the expectation that the ECB will cut its policy rate by 25 basis points at its July 5 meeting to inject liquidity and indirectly stimulate the EU economy. The release of China's second quarter 2012 GDP growth, scheduled for mid-July, if below the 7.9% consensus expected, would sour market sentiment and heighten concerns of a hard landing in 2012. This might, however, encourage the People's Bank of China ("PBOC") to launch more economic stimulus measures. In addition, another potential positive external factor may come from Japan, where the Bank of Japan may inject more liquidity to the system to prevent deflation. On the other hand, risk factors still remain with the uncertainty of the debt crisis situation in EU and the economic uncertainty in the U.S. and China, which could be surprisingly weak and weigh down sentiment.

In Thailand, May-June economic numbers are expected to be positive as there were no long holidays and thus the manufacturing and service sectors should be at full output after the flooding. At the same time, there may be greater speculative action before the second quarter 2012 earnings announcements, led by the banking sector on July 20. The banking sector is expected to continue its positive earnings momentum, with the anticipation for interim dividends as another positive catalyst. On the other hand, falling crude oil prices are expected to result in inventory losses for most energy and petrochemical stocks, and thus lead to earnings downgrade revisions.

Due to the expected volatile market and the SET Index is approaching the 1,200 level, the Fund will start to reduce some positions to lock in profits. The Fund will start buying back when the SET Index retreats from the current level. Sectors that the Fund prefers are still domestic-related sectors. However, cyclical-related sectors, such as the energy sector, may receive some benefit from liquidity injections by the EU and U.S. Thus, the energy sector may be a good sector for short-term trading purpose.

In terms of valuation based on Bloomberg forecasted earnings-per-share ("EPS") growth of 17.1% for 2012 (as of June 29, 2012), the Thai stock market is trading on price-to-earnings ("PER") for 2012 of 12.21x, price-to-book value ("P/BV") of 1.99x and with a dividend yield of 3.67%. Compared to five-year historical average of PER of 14.46x, P/BV of 2.06x and dividend yield of 3.78%, the Thai market is cheaper in terms of PER and P/BV, but expensive in terms of dividend yield.

Performance Evaluation

As of June 30, 2012, the Fund had net assets of US$40.9 million, equivalent to a net asset value ("NAV") per share of US$11.48. Of this amount, equity securities accounted for 91.77%; the remainder was in cash and bank deposits.

For the first half of 2012, the SET Index was up 14.32% in Thai Baht terms and the portfolio return was 16.06%, outperforming the benchmark by 1.74%. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, in U.S. dollar terms, the NAV return was 14.12% and the SET Index was up 13.83%.

Portfolio Management

Effective June 22, 2011, Mr. Suchai Sutapak and Ms. Charupatra Tonglongya became the Fund's portfolio managers. SCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. has employed Mr. Sutapak and Ms. Tonglongya since June 6, 2011. Mr. Sutapak previously was employed at Kasikorn Asset Management Co., Ltd. and Bualuang Securities Co., Ltd. as a Senior Fund Manager and has 16 years of experience as an analyst and portfolio manager. Ms. Tonglongya previously was employed at Kasikorn Asset Management Co., Ltd. as a Senior Vice President and has 21 years of experience as an analyst and portfolio manager.

Finally, the Fund's management would like to express its sincere thanks to all shareholders for their continued support and participation.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Martin J. Gruber

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Thai Capital Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on March 14, 1990 and commenced operations on May 30, 1990. It is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company.

The Fund makes its investments in Thailand through a wholly-owned Investment Plan pursuant to a contract with SCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the "Manager"), the Fund's investment manager. The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis and present the financial position and results of operations of the Investment Plan and the Fund.

The Investment Plan has a 25-year duration through May 17, 2015 (subject to earlier termination) unless continuance thereof is approved by the Bank of Thailand. In addition, the Investment Plan will expire in 2015, unless continuance is approved by Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission ("Thai SEC"), which is unlikely. Upon expiration or revocation of Thai SEC approval of the Investment Plan prior to that date, the Investment Plan will be required to liquidate. In the event of liquidation of the Investment Plan, the Fund's Board of Directors will consider, among other things, whether to liquidate the Fund, operate the Fund as a direct foreign investor (if then permitted under Thai law) or take other appropriate action.

The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of its financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual reported results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments —The Fund determines net asset value ("NAV") based on valuations made as of 5:00 p.m. Bangkok time, on each day the NAV is calculated. Securities listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sales price prior to the time of determination, or, if there were no sales on such date, at the mean between the last current bid and ask prices. Securities that are traded over-the-counter, if bid and ask quotations are available, are valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices. In instances where quotations are not readily available or where the price determined is deemed not to represent fair market value, fair value is determined in good faith in such manner as the Board of Directors (the "Board") may prescribe. Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, except where the Board determines that such valuation does not represent the fair value of the investment. All other securities and assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board.

Fair Value Measurements —In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1—Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

Level 3—Inputs that are unobservable.

The Thai Capital Fund, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by the Manager. The Manager considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2012 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities
Level 1—Quoted Prices	$37,761,443
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs	—
Level 3— Significant Unobservable Inputs	—
Total	$37,761,443

As all assets of the Fund are classified as Level 1, no reconciliation of Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2012 is presented. No transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 are disclosed individually in the Portfolio of Investments ("POI"). Please refer to the POI for industry classifications of the portfolio holdings.

Tax Status —The Fund intends to continue to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to comply with the minimum distribution and other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. As of June 30, 2012, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2012, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The Fund's federal tax returns for the current and prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Fund provides for Thai taxation based upon its understanding of the application of Thai tax law to the Investment Plan. Thai Baht remittances from the Investment Plan to the Fund during the term of the Investment Plan are subject to a Thai withholding tax of 10% and such remittances are required by Thai law to be derived only from the Investment Plan's net income and net realized gains on the sale of securities. Remittances for the payment of expenses (other than Thai withholding tax) are not subject to a Thai withholding tax. The Fund records a provision for such taxes based upon the Investment Plan's overall net increase in net assets resulting from operations determined by reference to the Baht. The amount of Thai withholding taxes ultimately paid could be different from the amounts accrued depending on various factors, including whether unrealized gains are ultimately realized, the timing of the realization of gains, shareholder distribution reinvestment rates and the effect of exchange rates, and the difference could be material.

The Thai Capital Fund, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Dividends and Distributions to Stockholders —The Fund records dividends and distributions payable to its stockholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book basis/tax basis ("book/tax") differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

Foreign Currency Translation —The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the period; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund does not isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of fluctuations in the market price of securities.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income —Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date (the date upon which the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized and unrealized gains and losses from security and foreign currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and corporate actions involving foreign securities which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as the Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Investment Manager

The Manager acts as the investment manager of the Investment Plan pursuant to the Investment Contract, as amended. The Manager makes the investment management decisions relating to the Fund's assets held through the Investment Plan. For its management services, the Manager receives a fee, which accrues weekly and is payable monthly in Baht, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Investment Plan's average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 the Manager earned $121,680 in management fees. At June 30, 2012, the Fund owed the Manager $23,118. In addition, as permitted by the Investment Contract, the Fund reimburses the Manager for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, no such expenses were paid to the Manager.

Administrator and Custodian and Other Related Parties

Daiwa Securities Trust Company ("DSTC"), provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Fund pays DSTC a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average weekly net assets, with a minimum annual fee of $150,000. DSTC has voluntarily decreased its minimum annual administration fee to $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition, as permitted by the Administration Agreement, the Fund reimburses DSTC for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Fund. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, expenses of $4,381 were paid to DSTC, representing reimbursement to the DSTC of costs relating to the attendance by its employees at meetings of the Fund's Board.

The Board has also approved the payment of the administrative compliance expense for the Fund in the amount of $21,000 per annum to DSTC, for services provided by DSTC staff in implementing the Fund's compliance management system and the Fund's compliance review program. This amount is included in the administration fee in the Fund's Statement of Operations.

DSTC also acts as custodian for the Fund's U.S. assets. As compensation for its services as custodian, DSTC receives a monthly fee of 0.10% of the average weekly net assets of the Fund representing U.S. assets and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, with a minimum annual fee of $5,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, DSTC earned $2,895, as compensation for its custodial services to the Fund.

The Thai Capital Fund, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

At June 30, 2012, the Fund owed $8,333, $1,750 and $483 to DSTC for administration, compliance and custodian fees, respectively, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Bangkok Bank Public Company Ltd. is the custodian for the Fund's Thai assets. As compensation for its services as custodian, Bangkok Bank receives a monthly fee of 1/52 of 0.10% of the value of the weekly net assets of the Investment Plan and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Bangkok Bank earned $34,605 as compensation for custodial services to the Fund. At December 31, 2011, the Fund owed to Bangkok Bank $11,395 for custody fees and expenses.

The Fund incurred $83,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 for legal services in conjunction with the Fund's ongoing operations provided by the Fund's law firm, Clifford Chance US LLP, to which the Fund's Assistant Secretary is a consultant.

Investments in Securities and Federal Income Tax Matters

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Fund made purchases of $20,007,937 and sales of $22,194,148 of investment securities, excluding short-term investments. The aggregate cost of investments at June 30, 2012 for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $37,723,593, excluding short-term investments. At June 30, 2012, net unrealized depreciation excluding short-term securities, aggregated $181,161 of which $2,772,213 related to appreciated securities and $2,953,374 related to depreciated securities.

Concentration of Risk

The Fund's investments in Thailand involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with domestic investments as a result of, among others, the possibility of future economic and political developments and the level of government supervision and regulation of securities markets.

The currency transactions of the Fund and the Investment Plan are subject to Thai foreign exchange control regulations. Remittances from the Investment Plan require the approval of the Exchange Control Officer of the Bank of Thailand. There can be no assurance that approval of remittances from the Investment Plan will be granted in a timely fashion or at all.

Capital Stock

There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock authorized. Of the 3,564,814 shares outstanding at June 30, 2012, Daiwa Capital Markets America Holdings Inc., a lead underwriter of the Fund and an affiliate of DSTC, owned no shares. As of June 30, 2012, based on publicly available Schedule 13D and 13G disclosures filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bulldog Investors/SMP held 17.2% of the shares outstanding, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC held 5.7% of the shares outstanding, Credit Suisse AG held 5.6% of the shares outstanding and First Wilshire Securities held 5.2% of the shares outstanding.

Recent Accounting Development

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, " Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs " ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Specifically, the guidance specifies that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets whereas they are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

The Thai Capital Fund, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (concluded)

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required. Entities will also be required to disclose the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The Fund is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Subsequent Event

Management has evaluated subsequent transactions and events after the balance sheet date through the date on which these financial statements were issued and, except as already included in the notes to the financial statements, has determined that no additional items require disclosure.

DSTC informed the Board on May 17, 2012 that it would be discontinuing its administration and custodian businesses and therefore will be terminating its agreements with the Fund. Effective on or around September 30, 2012 the Board has appointed Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. as the new administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company as the new custodian.

Total investment return based on market value is calculated assuming that shares of the Fund's common stock were purchased at the closing market price as of the beginning of the year, dividends, capital gains and other distributions were reinvested as provided for in the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan and then sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. The computation does not reflect any sales commission investors may incur in purchasing or selling shares of the Fund. The total investment return based on the net asset value is similarily computed except that the Fund's net asset value is substituted for the closing market value.
