Thomas J Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 My fiance wants some sort of jewelry possibly a gold bracelet. I know the streets a filled with dealers but I also know I can't tell the difference between gold plate, hollow gold or 18 karat vs. 24 karat. Does someone have a person or shop that they have dealt with that they know is honest, and reasonable in terms of a place to shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Big C Extra, Pattaya Klang, first floor opposite Big C (red shop). My wife buys AND sells her gold there (making small profits), no hassle ever. Shop is there for many years already which is another good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyaffiliated Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I found gold in malls to be super overpriced, especially in Pattaya. There is a really nice Chinese owned shop in the City Centre there though that's pretty good. I bought a 18K gold bracelet there. It's called XinKun Jewelry. It's actually not too hard to know if you're getting ripped off or not. Just ask whether it's 10K, 14K, 18K or even 24K gold. Then ask for the weight. Then check the current gold price on google per gram. Then calculate the total gram (weight) amount times the current gold price per gram, and you'll know the worth of just the gold, minus the labor of the piece of jewelry and the store owner's profit. I'd say 3-6 (depending on the total amount of the piece) thousand baht extra is fine. Edited June 17, 2020 by reallyaffiliated extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
