  1. I ordered several items from China about 2 months ago and they still haven't arrived. I'm wondering if the world will ever get back to the way it was before the virus hit. Probably not if we accept all the restrictions and regulations put in place that have taken our freedoms and rights away in guise of "protecting" us.

    Yeah, I know how to find the 1 baht price. I'm just trying to figure out what other nuances might cause the price to be more than 1/2 the 1 baht price. For instance the shop 'fee'.

    People often under value the cost of converting raw gold into finished jewelry. You really can't compare the cost of gold per baht to the cost of finished jewelry per baht. You probably got exactly what you were promised. A nice solid 20 Karat gold bracelet for 566 bucks.

     

  3. Thailand is a kingdom with a dictatorship running the parliament. The king or the dictatorship can take any money you have in any bank any time it wants to. That's just a fact. But the same can be said about banks in America. The banks are federally controlled and the gov't can close any of them or all of them down anytime it wants to thereby eliminating any access to your funds. The only safe place for your money is in a safe in your own home and then it is only safe there if you can defend it against thieves.
