Gottfrid Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 My best guess would be a silver shop 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP24 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Maybe ask at a family-owned/family operated gold shop, they will probably know some local contacts to refer you to. Might be best to tell them you are looking for a shop rather than some random person that you can't find later. Out of curiouslity what do you want to do with the silver after it's melted down? I'd imagine that in its present form it's easy to recognize what it is, and might even be stamped. But if melted down it'll be difficult for someone else to tell what it is, it would have to be assayed, and even then it would be difficult for that person to re-sell it. Seems to me that melting it down is only useful if you plan to use it to fabricate something else. If you plan to melt it into ingots with some sort of stamp, it might be better to just trade it in its current form for some ingots that are readily identifiable as being from a major, well recognized source. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 came across this website some time ago: https://morrisandwatson.com/locations/thailand/ but no personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFelix Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Seem to remember reading that pellets are the preferred form for silver in Thailand as most silver used for manufacture not investment. Pellets are easier to melt than bars obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he wants it melted down into bullion? That's how I understood it. Not sure why OP has not been back to respond or clarify, but maybe I missed something.

tigertiger Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Any Hilltribe silver dealer will be happy to buy silver. See Chatuchak or Palladium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have a box of the family silver. Mostly cutlery etc and would love to get it turned into easily tradeable coins or bars with assayed marks. Op is not asking for anything unrealistic. I would like to know too if anyone can advise please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 IMO the OP would need to look for a company that specializes in silver bullion. Silver cannot simply be melted down, it has to be done in an inert atmosphere, otherwise it becomes silver oxide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP24 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 oMega69, in the interest of closure, what is/was your intended use for the bullion and what will/did you end up doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
