I'm assuming you just want gold bands. Gold shops are everywhere in BKK. Find one with a lot of customers and go in. Chinatown is known for its gold shops, but they are everwhere. You probably know this, but gold sold here is generally 96.5% pure and is sold by baht weight. One baht is 15.16 grams. I think the selling price right now is around 14,000-15,000 baht per baht of gold. |
