thelongshoot Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hello. I want to buy a diamong engagment ring for my girlfriend. Dont worry, been here 10 years and I am no idiot. She is the girl for me. Im looking at spending around 50K Baht. I live in Hua Hin and im not sure of the quality around here. Im guessing there is an area of BKK that speacialises in this and will suppy quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Bought one for my wife 6 years ago. First question her best friend had was "how many baht gold is it?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Bought one for my wife 6 years ago. First question her best friend had was "how many baht gold is it?" Yep, gold is the thing here. Lots of fake diamond stuff about and folk know it.OP, 50k is not much for a diamond of any worth here. My pal deals in diamond stuff and he showed me a pair of ear rings for 180k.

Riley'sLife Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Waste of money. Thais don't do the diamond engagement ring thing. When in Rome......... Seriously, it won't be as much appreciated as some (crap looking) Thai Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thelongshoot Posted December 19, 2012 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks all. Its a moot point anyway as I am sober now and have no intention of proposing. Seemed like a great idea after 4 jugs of chang this afternoon. Without beer inside me... I would rather donate a lung than propose. Thanks anyway.

wayned Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 To be different I bought some diamond earings for my wife for her birthday one year. She said; "they are beautiful, why you not buy gold"! Oh well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Buy her a zircon. She'll never know, unless she dumps you and tries to hock it. I think what you mean is cubic zirconia. This is cheap as chips, and has even more brilliancy than diamond. Zircon is a gemstone which is often purchased as a less expensive substitute for diamond, but it still has value. Zirconium is the chemical element. Now YOU know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just take her to Pai in the smoky season, that should do it. In the rented campervan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
