Pattaya_Fox Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 At this time of year with the festive season almost upon us, many of us are searching for presents to give to our loved ones and friends. Many of us opt for jewelry including gold necklaces, rings and bracelets. If you were thinking of purchasing gold, we would like to suggest to you to buy early because the price of gold has significantly increased over the last few months and has finally broken the 10,000 Baht per 1 Baht of Gold mark. The current price of Gold here in Pattaya is a staggering 10,200 Baht. In some cases, if the Gold item requires extra workmanship, the price will currently rise to as much as 10,550 Baht. It is expected that the price will further rise and to give you some idea of how the price has increased, four months ago, the price was 8,200 baht. Pattaya City News 9.12 2005.

sbk Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The price of gold is standard all over the Kingdom. Just to give you an idea, it was 5000 baht for 1 baht weight about 10 years ago. So, the recent price rises have been rather quickly accelerating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 God, I must be a sentimental softie, my father-in-law bought me a lovely intricate 2 baht gold necklace at one of the famous gold shops in bangkok when my husband and I got married. I'd feel wrong selling it now (16 years later ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prakanong2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The Gold price has been creeping up constantly day to day for a while now - will it peak around Chinese New Year - a time when prices traditionally rise due to demand? Its was in the late 4000's in 99. I was thinking about buying the wife some for Christmas / New year and still might have to bite the bullet. She does want something else though! This morning she asked me on the phone what time it was as we were speaking from Thailand to Europe (have to decide where we will/can live next year). I told her the time and said, "I forget you do not wear a watch - do you want one for Christmas?" Her, "OK Mickey Mouse watch" Me, "You not want Rolex like mine?" (excuse at the ready for a positive answer) Her, "No ugly" Me, "Ok then Mickey Mouse but you have to send a letter to Santa Claus asking him for it" I then explained this concept and she said, "OK I send letter and ask for watch and 10 kilo Diamond if Sants bring what you ask for - Belgium (I work in Belgium) very famous for diamond" followed by manic giggles No flies on that one ;-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
