Gold Jewelry Necklaces etc

[shygye]

There are also 1/2 Baht bracelets. I asked a BG about her bracelet and she said it was 1/2 Baht weight and she paid 3100 Baht.

I would stay away from the Sukhumvit area and also MBK, as prices for similar pieces are considerably cheaper in Thai neighborhoods.

I thought the price of gold peices were regulated in the kingdom and a baht of gold had to be sold at a certain price , but I could be wrong.

But this thread did get me thinking about the 3Bw bracelet I bought my wife as an engagement token. 3Bw should be worth Bt17,250 now and we paid about Bt16,000 including craft-fees. Looks like we made nearly US$30 on the deal.

Now that you've got me thinking about this I might just try to take the 3 Baht bracelet I bought my girlfriend a few months ago and take it to the same store to see how much they would give me for it.

However, I just asked her if we could do that and she is now mega-suspicious of something. And, if she catches me taking it from the secret, so she thinks, hiding place above the ceiling tile over the toilet in the master bedroom I'd have to sleep with my hand over my wanker for weeks.

Maybe, in this instance, ignorance is a lot safer. I'll think about this.
