⚠️ Common traps when buying gold
Tour-group shops, “free making charge”, card conversions.
- Tour-group shops may not show association prices. Compare with this page first.
- “No making charge” can hide the cost in price or weight — compare the total.
- Buy only gold stamped 96.5% with the shop’s mark.
- Watch it weighed and get a detailed receipt.
- Pay card transactions in THB.
- Never carry undeclared gold for someone else.
