Seems not - I've approached around 6 shops and they only sell gold jewellery.

Can you get yourself to Pattaya, I can recommend several Gold shops.

The wife bought a few gold bars a while back. I went to the same shop - in Big C - and they have stopped selling them. 

 

Best to get them on-line. But beware of the special deals from west Africa. And also 'buy one, get one free' offers from India. They are not all they are cracked up tobe.

I prefer Rayong, but Pattaya is doable.   Appreciate those details

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Rayong has shopping malls that have a Aurora branch, which sell gold bars.

I've bought most of my gold bars from 3 or 4 gold shops Pattaya Klang.

This shop I've purchased the most, owners name is Tina, her shop on Pattaya Klang, right side heading toward the beach, just before 2nd road traffic lights.

Thanks for the suggestions - an update....

 

I went to Rayong yesterday and visited a number of shops both in Laem Thong Mall as well as around the market/bus station.  I managed to find only 2 shops that had Gold Bullion Bars - but both had very limited stocks/range and I was turned off by charges of 290 baht and 500 baht per Baht Weight in addition to the Baht Weight prices notified by the Gold Traders Association.

 

I'll get my missus to call some shops in Pattaya to check on availability and prices  -  if there are similar limitations and additional charges looks like I'll be heading up to BKK.
