Jewellers In Thong Sala

[เพลง]

Hi I have been to Thong Sala a couple of times now but never noticed (as I never thought I would have the need to know) if there was a Jewellers there?

I am taking my girlfriend on a holiay and I want to propose to her, but I dont know her ring size so I'm going to have to buy it in a hurry, preferabbly in Thong Sala.

Any help would be appreciated!

The shops on Koh Phangan pretty much only sell gold, you can find a few nicely colored stones as well. I recommend the small gold shop on the road to Chaloklum, just before the big gas station. My husband has known him for years and pretty much only buys from there.

But, I would go to Samui, there is a good jeweler in Nathon, main road opp the Siam City Bank, they have some lovely pieces.

Interesting article, though I don't see it as much of a "scam", more some very clever marketing to yet another guallible audience.

As for "investing"... The ring is never going to be sold (at least not by me!) so I'm not entirley sure of the relevance in this situation?

Cheers!

I use the term "investing" loosely, and include any emotional investment (attachment) in the diamond engagement ring.

Whether we call the diamond industry's price-fixing a scam or clever marketing, nobody likes to pay 3~10 times the real value for a stone. If there was no emotional attachment to diamonds created by "clever marketing" ("Diamonds are forever" - don't sell!), the real price would come down to a fair level determined by buyers & sellers, such as is with the price for gold.

Here are ten good reasons why I would avoid buying a diamond engagement ring. Take special note of reasons 4~10.
