I believe legally in Thailand it has to be 96.5% pure, so a little over 23 karat. The downside to this is its really soft, so you have to be careful with it for jewelry. I physically can bend a 2 baht bracelet, so something like a chain clasp I could twist or crush very easily accidentally. Luckily I do not like jewelry, so its all my wife's and she is careful with it. It also scratches easily. But, as an investment in gold its unbeatable versus any other kind of jewelry. That is why I let me wife buy as much as she want, to me its just like AGE's in the SDB. I am getting another 5-6 baht for her next spring. I think we have about 15 baht in the sdb right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
