THB = Thai Baht = the currency BHT = bullion weight in Thai Baht. 1 BHT equals 15,2 grams of gold weight. All Thai Gold (circa 98% purity) is traded in the traditional weight BHT inside Thailand.

Baerboxer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 10% taxation isn't that bad. Lucky to get 180 baht of gold back. Sent from my LG-D858 Did you read the OP closely?

JacChang Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Where can I buy 1 gold block that is 6 inches long and 2 inches wide. Shiny and lusty in it's awe. Gold shops? But I generally only see jewely chains and those ugly 100,000 2 inch long ugly dusty gold bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Baht weight of gold is about 16 grams of gold So 2 baht weight equals 32 grams or a bit over 1 troy ounce. So if buying gold from dealer like I sometimes do I carry my pocket scale to check for correct weight. The shops I buy from know this. So never get under weight . Same with gems always check there carat weight and cut and clarity and test stones with stone tester. Besides great for travelling light weight easy to sell and get a bit of profit from sale. I know where the honest shops are Send them customers a lot good relations with owners. Besides I gave them many good customers in exchange get some stones free or at there purchase price. Which is almost unheard of. But they got access to US markets And above board duty free for small amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokay Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We were scammed for 280000 baht (partly gold -partly money). The police ignores us. We don't know where the money and gold is now. We know the name and address of the person that scammed us, we have his identity card number, have CCTV images, and have 100% prove. All evidence is with the police. We should have never gone to the police, but arrange it like Thai people would do it. I would advice the same thing to other people with the same experience - hire mafia or corrupt police - going the official way is useless. Once you've made an official report at the police station, your chance on asking for "special assistance" is gone. I agree with you 100%. I also tried the police a few times for various things over the years, each time was as useless as the next. Now, things are handled Thai style. No police, ever. When in Rome... The police should just stick to handing out motobike tickets, because that is the only thing they are somewhat decent at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Sviss Geez # 37 ThaiVisa, the hub of people that don't understand the basics. You certainly fit the bill of those you describe, in fact looking at all of your posts you are indeed a role model of those posters on Thai Visa.

Call me slow but I still dont get it, you state 200 Bht is 3.048 grms. So in this case what does Bht stand for? If you look carefully, seabass69 used a comma as his delimiter, not a period as you did. You're not slow, but most likely weren't raised in one of the countries that typically employs commas as the delimiter (Australia, Thailand, the U.K. and U.S.) Edited October 19, 2014 by jamesbrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
