<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1675963, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, everything there is weighed and valued in baht. It is confusing for outsiders since baht is also their currency. Since I collect thai coins I know how it cam to be, a baht of silver, (weight), was their primary currency for hundreds of years. Value and weight were identical. They diverged later, but both kept the name. Its like if the US had a unit of weight called a dollar. A dollar weight of silver was worth a dollar in money. When we stopped making silver coins, we would still call our currency a dollar, as well as the weight a dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, yes sir I buy in Thailand, or buy in a Thai jewelry store here in MN. Northern Thailand is really interesting for their history of silverwork. Chiang Mai still has many silversmiths still working, and its very easy to have something custom made. Chiang Mai was an early capital of Thailand and still is the center of the silver trade there. Bangkok is more known for gem cutting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
