how241 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Is there anywhere in Pattaya to buy silver bars ? I was looking into giving some as a wedding gift. I can't afford to give gold. I have asked several gold shops but all of them say they don't handle silver, as it is not popular in Thailand. One shop suggested that I try Bangkok but that can be a expensive day out just to try and buy some silver bars and I would have no idea where to go in Bangkok or what shop might be trustworthy. Any suggestions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyrobert Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 You can't find a bar in Pattaya? And at least half seem to be for sale.....or forgot to pay their power bill! I've never seen silver bars in LOS. And I've looked. You could probably have some smelted in to a mold, I'd think a better jeweler could do that.

tim armstrong Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Don't do it. Its not the same as gold in terms of international standards, and ID. You are better off buying silver coins - if you can find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I'm assuming this is just a wind-up and not a serious question. Because the answer is already in the very first line of your post: Is there anywhere in Pattaya to buy silver bars ? I was looking into giving some as a wedding gift. I can't afford to give gold. I have asked several gold shops but all of them say they don't handle silver, as it is not popular in Thailand. As you mentioned: Silver is NOT POPULAR in Thailand. So therefore not suitable as a wedding gift. Culturally and socially it's not comparable to gold in any way. You might as well buy lead or zinc. A tiny bit of gold of comparable value (or even: less value) will be more appreciated than a pile of silver. In Thailand (and Asia) there is no arguing against gold. Pure gold.

Naam Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 In Thailand (and Asia) there is no arguing against gold. Pure gold. (96.6%, close to 24K) the only argument is that 96.5 is not pure but 23.16 k gold :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
