speedtripler Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Can anyone recommend a place to buy gold bars in bkk ? also , is there any risk of getting fake gold with less than the advertised purity etc or other scams to watch out for ? would prefer 99.999% pure but if that comes at too much of a premium over the spot price then thai gold will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have been doing business with Ausiris since 2012 and I'm very satisfied they also have 99.999% bars http://www.ausiris.co.th/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janclaes47 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It always pays of to buy smaller bars, because easier to check, and when you want to sell you can't sell part of a large bar. Ausiris may be a trustable company, but the lack of English on their website and offices has always turned me off, and keep in mind that they are not covered by any government or bank guarantees. You have to pay in advance for what you receive later. The 99% gold bullion is also not available any more in small bars. Last time I checked with them they only traded 1kg bars in 99% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust any Thai gold shop with an advance Payment for a 1kg gold bar I won't receive until later Id rather buy gold that's in stock and get it when you pay for it... Is it still normal to pay spot price +100thb for every buy? That's why I was thinking about 1 large bar instead of ~20 Smaller ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think, but I maybe mistaken, that the premium is per Baht and not per bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
