Even within the limitations of soft Thaigold I am sure there are shops with more elegant design, not the rough cuts which you see most of the time. Where to look?

My favorite shop for designs is the big gold shop in Worarot, in the Songthaew parking area. It is the oldest gold shop in Chiang Mai

Just ta share some opinion here without any offence intended......

Had a range of gold jewelery designed by a jewel design grad from CMU to discuss, draw and confirm the design then had the recommended goldsmith to complete the only edition of dowry set for the mia noi last songkran, the family was proud coz the design was exclusive edition and I had paid much lower than to have the weight of gold bought in the showcase.

Hope I did not offend any goldsmith mafia for sharing this.

Chinese Panda, that's what I like. How did you find him? Guess there are designer classes, do they show there work?

Contact details?

The big shop at Wararot market is the answer for now.

Thanks everyone
