timaan Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Hi, I'm looking to buy gold, but I heard that the locals do not recommend Aurora as it cannot be sold back to other shops. Does anyone know why this is so? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I don't know buy would like to hear. Hue Heng Seng seem to be the premier gold shop chain in Thailand. Hopefully others can advise on Aurora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterphuket Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Sorry, I try to Google "Aurora Gold" but then cheese shows up. What is Aurora Gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Surely gold is gold. Does it matter where you buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaKevin Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I was told by several thais that Aurora gold was of bad quality. I previously bought there then sold it back to Aurora with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Rex Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 My wife likes to buy gold from Aurora. (Actually she likes to buy gold from anywhere - lol) We have had no issues selling gold back to them - but there were 2 occasions where it took them 24 hours to reimburse money to wifes bank account. This was apparently because everything had to be organised by head office - and we don't live in Bangkok. For variety and quality of product - Wife prefers 'Chin' gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably prefer to buy at the night-market. It is cheaper too. Tell them only Swiss-gold is true gold ⚠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora costs more due to the superior workmanship on a lot of it, means you will not get as much back if you sell it elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchadian Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 To buy and sell gold, China Town is the only place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross163103 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 A lot of shops I deal with will only buy back their own gold, too many scams out there. Aurora has been fine; I guess it depends on if you're looking to sell it back or keep it long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
