(Adds DTAC, banks)

BANGKOK, July 8 (Reuters) - Thailand's benchmark stock
index .SETI was down 1.74 percent at 573.30 at 0811 GMT on
Wednesday.

The index slid more than 2 percent at one stage, hitting
its lowest level since June 23, after the market reopened
following a two-day public holiday.

Stocks on the move included:

TOTAL ACCESS DTAC.BK UP ON 2009 REVENUE HOPES

Shares in the country's second-largest mobile phone
operator rose 2.3 percent to 33.25 baht after the company told
Reuters its 2009 revenue should be similar to last year's,
helped by cost cutting, and strong growth in data services
would help offset falling roaming revenue. [nBKK248591]

BANKS .SETB DOWN ON WEAK Q2 PROFIT OUTLOOK

Top lender Bangkok Bank BBL.BK dropped 2.83 percent to a
two-week low of 103 baht, number two Krung Thai Bank KTB.BK

Bank SCB.BK dipped 2.84 percent, and number four Kasikornbank

KGI Securities said in a note it expected to see poor
second-quarter results in the banking sector, with the economy
in recession, but there should be signs of recovery, with loan
growth picking up, from the second half.
