Popular Post sniffdog Posted December 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I don't understand how a 25k gold necklace is worth 70,000baht? There is nothing like '25karat' gold. 24K is 99.99% pure ... Audiophiles sometimes refer to the gold in cables as '25k' gold though.

But isn't 100 % pure gold 24 karat? I am 110% sure! 25 carat would mean 5 grams of gold, about $200 if 24 karat....so heaven knows!

mikemac Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Women wear necklaces, men wear chains. (In my opinion anyway). Judging by those "alley stalking" trousers he is wearing I would call it a necklace. What happened to them, did they shrink on him ? I misread the heading of this story and jumped right in, did not read the word "necklace" so I was a bit disappointed actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorbreeze Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nice hot-pants! should have known mbetter than to wear ANY gold chain in Thailand tourist areas, especially Pattaya! Yes true, I put mine in the safe while here, even having a expensive SLR Digital $$$ Nikon Camera around your neck shows you are a target, women with shoulder purses ...women wearing jewelry..." like catching a fish the more the glitter the more you attract the fish" I have even taken off my gold rings... the less ya show the better... keep low profile while here during the peak tourist season. I trust I will see more gangs tempted by quick money by stealing from tourist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGImInPattaya Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nice hot-pants! should have known mbetter than to wear ANY gold chain in Thailand tourist areas, especially Pattaya! Sad state is affairs when you can't walk outside wearing something for fear of being robbed. What's this place becoming ? I normally leave the house with my pants, shirt and shoes on and never a problem. I wore a semi-expensive watch for awhile and of course have my B15,000 smartphone on me and often carry my ipad around in my hand again without any problems. What I have not done is string B75,000 on a string and wear it around my neck as some kind of fashion accessory as I expect it would put me in grief in short order.

little mary sunshine Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Looks like "All Flash and No Cash"....should sell his gold chain and buy some decent clothes.....Who would wear flashy gold chains in Pattaya or any other Large City, and than cry like a baby when they get robbed, Stupid is as Stupid does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchai Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I don't understand how a 25k gold necklace is worth 70,000baht? 25 karat gold necklace... 70,000baht... what is there to understand? But isn't 100 % pure gold 24 karat? I am 110% sure! 25 carat would mean 5 grams of gold, about $200 if 24 karat....so heaven knows! There's no 100% gold.They keep dams here to 110 % full, and I'm 199% certain that the Russian had cat gold. Carat conversion: 58.33% - 62.50% = 14k (acclaimed 58.33%) 75.00% - 79.16% = 18k (acclaimed 75.00%) 91.66% - 95.83% = 22k (acclaimed 91.66%) 95.83% - 99.95% = 23k (acclaimed 95.83%) 99.95 and above = 24k (acclaimed 99.99%) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carat_(purity) Carat purity is measured as 24 times the pure mass divided by the total mass: where is the carat rating of the material, is the mass of pure gold or platinum in the material, and is the total mass of the material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
