My Gold Digger wife recently asked me if I would wear a gold chain. Umm, thanks Teerak but that's not my style. Somehow she has managed to wear her 1 baht necklace for some years now without getting robbed in some fashion. Also a 5 baht bracelet on occasion and that is truly obscene. But we really connect on many other levels.

Years ago my wife had me wear one with some special amulet to keep me safe, I always kept it inside my shirt as not to show off (dangerous in my opinion), Anyway, during a Songkran festival a bunch of mototaxis riders tried to get it away from me--guess they saw it on the back of my neck, resulting in a fight between myself and several of them. I ended up a little banged up but kept the chain. Lesson learned, I've never worn that chain--or any other again, especially now with the price of gold where it is, at the time I was mugged it was around 7k-9k for a baht of gold. So much for the amulet keeping me safe LOL!

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