A lot has happened!
The best thing about Thailand, besides the climate, must surely be these skilled artisans. We visited Gems Gallery Pattaya, which gave us a tour of artificial mines and how mineral extraction works.We also saw how the artisans created pieces in gold, silver, sapphires, and various settings. I didn't want to leave, but everything has its limits, as they say. I bought a Black Star (Sapphire), and they issue a "certificate of guarantee." It feels extra special then ;)
