Re: Gold prices
It might be advisable to go out of town a little too, like to a girl's home town. Maybe it's the country people talking, but many prefer not to buy in PP because stories (rumours?) of problems cashing back.

Re: Gold prices
Don't know the business, but never heard of gold sold in grams here. Always dealt in hun, chi and dumlung. I'm told the price at the moment is $110/chi for platin (18k) and about $150/chi for meas.

Re: Gold prices
Mooser, DO NOT BUY GOLD IN CAMBODIA !!!! It's the worst quality, and they cheat...cheat, cheat. It has absolutely no value. BTW. a 10 karat thing is not even considered gold. If you want to have quality gold you have to go to Thailand (Bangkok, China Town).Mooser wrote:Why is this? I was thinking of 10 k chain, is it not good quality?

No, even there it's not 24 karat even though they are going to tell you that. It's between 21 and 22 karat simply for the reason that the standard gold test is only good for up to 22 Karat. If you want to verify that the piece has more than 22 karat you need a chemical analysis. Anyway, Thai gold is good and beautiful and has value. Cambodian "gold" is tin, and nothing else. Hands off.

Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht
In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

sorry Francis, that is just not true. if it were, they would soon be out of business as they all buy back the articles they sell at a small discount, around 3%.
bold statements are best backed by a citation.
you are correct in your assertion that baht gold is .965 fine.
it is difficult to cheat on the karat when a little man is right outside the door acid testing as is the case all over asia.

Re: Gold prices
I agreed! If you're going to buy gold then but it from the west. You'll get quality gold and it's worth the money.

Re: Gold prices
it is odd how foundationless opinion prevails with some, even when precise information has been given.
must be that fucking tacit knowledge they all bleat about.
everybody knows that..........................
