i have bought a number of loose stones Rubies and Saphirre's ranging from 1Carat upto 4 Carat price from 500-7500 baht i sent the expensive one's back home but nobody really knows how to value loose stone it is i believe a specialist subject! I guess i would have to travel to London or Manchester to a top class store where you can pick the stone and design the ring yourself! Bottom line is get them mounted or buy one's already in the mount! Thailand's mine's are almost depleted of Rubies now. The best ones Pigeons Blood comes from Burma or if you don't want to go into Burma you can but them at the market in Mai sai near the border. A lot of Rubies are coming now from Africa these are genuine Rubies but some may require heat treatment or other treatments and some will have slight inclusions in them. They are brought over here because African people do not have the required skills to cut them etc so they bring it in raw form. I have 11 lovely stones from Africa from 1-4 carats in the shape of hearts and various other cuts, i guess i will get 3 of the stones mounted into 1 ring maybe a 4 carat stone in the middle and 2 one carat stones either side then send it back home to be valued, then see if you can make money doing it!

Every week another exciting location! Bring on the Bang Bus Tours!

Try Devils Den! lol

Everyone is struggling at the minute, i live in Pattaya and currently in Phuket im paying 400 a night here next to all the action nice room free wi-fi no extra charge for ladies etc! It's the same in Patts you can get a nice room now for the same 400 baht on soi LK metro where there is a lot of action! Everybody will drop there prices just to fill the rooms. it's good business sense, they get you in the room cheap you might have something to eat and a beer before you hit the town! that way they recoupe some of there loses! I know that's what i would be doing if i stillm owned my guesthouse, luckily i sold 2 weeks prior to red shirts hitting bangkok! There really has never been a better time to travel to Thailand it's low season and with what's happened everybody is desperate! Hardly any farang here in Phuket it's all Russian, Korean, China and Japan! Hope you get what your looking for ask yourself how many hours a day are you going to spend in hotel? Do you need a pool? there's a pool on soi LK metro you can use for 100baht! Most hotels charge for extra guest! Good look and don't be afraid to bargain this is THailand it's expected!
