Where To Buy An Engagement Ring In Bangkok

[PurpleNote]

Before anybody starts to throw the rather unoriginal comments about not getting married . . . where's a good place to buy an engagement ring in Thailand? Nothing insane. Just a nice stone in a farang gold setting (Thai gold is way too soft to set a precious stone in . . . actually, it's too soft for a ring in general).

I only ask because I haven't spent too much time in Thai gold shops but from what I can see they tend to specialize in Thai gold. Necklaces, bracelets, etc. I want to know where one would go to get a decent quality diamond in a farang quality setting here in BKK.

Any suggestions?

try MBK, or if you have serious cash, the dimond shops in Siam Paragon .....

SWMB Obeyed and her mates from Perth go to BangNa Diamonds 027456768. Last one looks nice and she assures me it was not expensive, compared to what I have paid for her Ozz stuff I agree.

I recommend your nearest pawn shop, must be a huge selection of lightly used rings of assorted weight-farang purchased-but sold on to cover a debt to some shark.

(Keep an eye out for one with "pommie rac-coon" engraved on the inside")
