gold shop buying 23 ct gold jewellery in Chiang Mai Thailand


My daughters birthday, you can see some of her friends on www.flowers-ofthe-orient.com so she got 1 baht weight in gold 96.5 % pure, 23 ct, 1 baht in weight = 15.2 grammes to go with the rest she has my wife stuck her elbow in my ribs so she got another 1 baht weight to go with her collection. I fly with Emirates from the UK and in Duabai airport you can buy 24ct gold either EK or Credit Suisse, its impossible to buy 100% gold so fine gold is 99.999 % pure, it is sold by weight from 5 gramme pendants to 1 kilo bars, when we bought ours a while ago it was less than £300 a troy ounce = 31.1 grammes and a avordupois ounce is what you buy potaoes in is 28 grammes, today gold is £686 an ounce thats why the shop was busy people selling their gold. You do the math £1 = 50 Thai baht. There are thousands of these shops in Thailand all selling identical jewellery at identical prices it's just that we have dealt with these people for many years.
