You would know..........????

 No. Have a beautiful gold chain with image of king Rama 9 pendant given by my wifes brother,but too risky to wear outdoors.

 

In 1993 I took a vacation and dive trip to Tahiti.  While there I bought a black coral pendent wrapped in gold with a cutout of a sea turtle.  The sea turtle is very important in Tahitian culture, and among other beliefs the the Tahitian seller told me the turtle represented the wisdom acquired by older people.  I was only 51 at that time but I decided I wanted it, hoping that my wisdom would increase as I aged.  Back in the US I bought a 20"/51cm gold chain for the pendent.

 

I have worn the necklace ever since and never been criticized of wearing it.  In fact it has been admired by many young and old women where ever I was.  I will pass it on to my Thai wife in the hope that it will bring her wisdom as well.

No.

No!

 

If I could afford one, I would use the money for something else.

 

I am not the ostentatious type!

On no... don't get 'im started or 'e'll be posting fuzzy pics of some fancy motor from his yoof again.

Back in the days when Gold was ฿8,000 for a ฿1 chain, I bought a lovely ฿2 rope one.  I had it for many years, but then a Katoey said to me "You are good Falang and generous but you is walking safe deposit and it dangerous".  So the next day I sold it for ฿25,000 and have never bought any since.  Good advice.  I just hadn't realised what I had been doing flashing it around.

A question for those that have been around Pattaya many years back, there used to be a big New Zealand or Aussie guy that was well known around town and for wearing big gold chains, always sitting on Beach Road, anyone remember that guy? Looked like a NZ version of Mr T.

Yes …. it was a gift. I wear it under my shirt … if I was in an iffy area I’d put it away …. In other words I don’t flaunt it… 

No! I would never wear a gold chain or any jewelry. Very poofy on a man.

Can you even use that terminology any more?

 

I mean 'man'?

A person can wear gold jewelry tastefully.  Nothing wrong with it.
