The Gems of Thailand

March 5, 2010 · Filed Under All Entries, General 

One of the main attractions of Thailand is not just the temples, beaches, and street foods it has to offer. Jewelry is also very affordable. A tour guide in one of the big stores in Pattaya explains that the soil in Thailand is soft making it more conducive for mining for gemstones which seems Thailand is well-gifted with.

My aunt was so delighted with the price that when we recently visited Bangkok, she bought several Jade pendants, some earrings, and loose pearls. I guess that if she also saw some loose diamonds she’ll be immediately swept off of her feet. There also some gem stones that I didn’t knew existed until then. I was surprised to learn that sapphire has other colors to offer aside from blue.

Surely, Bangkok will be a delight to people who loves gem stones.
