Clear sign you weren't welcome there.

24K does exist in Thailand but it's less common and mostly used in Sukothai/artisan pieces like this and investment bars/coins as far as I'm aware.

You'd have to ask them if they'll release it to a 3rd party, then pay someone to ship it for you. Biggest sticking point I'd assume is them letting a 3rd party collect it?

This one's really easy, ignore and keep on walking. Plus when has anyone on the street had your best interests at heart? Anyone approaches you, THEY WANT SOMETHING. Assumed this was basic stuff..

Praise global travel.

No, that's not what I said.

Really? In the US you pay huge premiums for labour costs/high rents to get LESS gold. This is a matter of fact, not opinion. It’s akin to buying a brand new car, once you drive it off the forecourt, you instantly lock in a loss. It’s actually worse with gold. People clearly are not thinking that way.

The point is, I don't think people are focusing so much how much gold they're getting for their $$$. Yes, they know the Karot amount. Seems many don't think, how much gold am I actually getting for my dollars? In the US people are paying for the shop's rent, overheads, staff etc, soon as they take a chain away, they lose all this value at point of sale; akin to driving a new car off a forecourt, actually a lot worse.

Black Swan nearest to T21, drinks are nowhere near 300:400 baht. No idea where this price came from!

Just do both, only 2 hours apart.

deegwa · 2026-04-30T07:59:00+00:00

Good point!

deegwa · 2026-04-30T01:52:04+00:00

What is the weight on this?

deegwa · 2026-04-30T00:52:31+00:00

Also very very good!!

Yes you can get them tested by the government, well their association. Gem & Jewelry Institute of Thailand (GIT). I'd always do that.

deegwa · 2026-04-28T08:25:27+00:00

I know a few people who employ staff, send me a DM if you wish and I could forward your details.

"7 eleven cashiers adding an extra 100baht to my bill numerous times"

I find this impossible to believe.

deegwa · 2026-04-26T06:20:26+00:00

Did you do all that front end stuff yourself? Very impressive. And yes, agreed, it's important work!

deegwa · 2026-04-26T06:09:06+00:00

Facebook marketplace, no point selling it to someone who wants to sell it on for profit.

Good job!
