jwdub Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I have since been made aware that New Years day is also considered a Thai gift giving holiday. Can anyone recommend a place (obviously jewelery, probably gold) in Pattaya/Jomtien where I won't lose an arm and a leg and has a decent selection. We have been together 6 months now and it's going in a good direction, I don't know jack squat about anything in this field and appreciate any info.

PeterSmiles Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thai gold jewelry is more or less the same price in every gold shop in Thailand, as it is sold by weight at a fixed price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 1 baht gold should set you back around 18,000 baht. She'll like it, as she can sell it if the relationship goes tits up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brabo2180 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Remember, after New Year, there's Valentine's Day, Songkran, Easter, Loi Krathong and many other Buddhist holidays where she'll remind you it's a "gift giving holiday". If you start with gold, it will never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough that's where it did start with her subtle hints LOL!! Your g/f (?) is talking utter crap. Nip this BS in the bud now, or make a rod for your own back, either way I dont really care. Up to you, personally I think she is playing head games with you. If you want to play her little games, ask her what she will be buying you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yes, New Years Day gifts are expected... The Lunar New Year... & Chinese New Year... & Songkran, & not forgetting Xmas. Of course do not expect a gift in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemoonexpat Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 If you plan on spending 10000 baht............spend 5ooo baht on gold and she will give you your freedom for the rest of the day where you can spend the other 5000 baht as you please. Don't be surprised though when you return that the gold has been misplaced or sold. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
