I guess you have never purchased gold at a gold shop. You can also sell gold bars to a gold shop. Do you think they buy fake gold? See if you can buy a fake one. Then take it to a gold shop and sell it for cash. Nice profit for you.

The density of lead is 11.4 g/cc. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cc. Unless the fake bar is uranium metal, any gold shop can pick the difference. Established operations in the shopping malls are not fly-by-night. I am wondering about your density, however. Does light bend around you? Edited February 15, 20197 yr by Lacessit

My question is whether a foreigner is eligible to buy gold bars in the Thai banking system... and not in a gold shop....? is my question not clear to the readers?

I was using that as an example. Have you ever done a Rockwell C? Permit me to doubt a fake bar would deceive it. In answer to the OP, I have never tried to buy bullion at a Thai bank. I should imagine a fair-sized markup. I have bought and sold gold in Thailand from and to the gold shops for ten years now. Never had a problem. Having said that, gold from the shops would be discounted outside Thailand, as it is only 96.5%. 99.99% is tradeable anywhere.

Purity is checked against a weight machine at every purchase and a certificate issued against an ID or passport. The machines are government checked and certificated. Any authorised gold shop pushing fake stuff would be out of business in a flash and the owner in jail.
