- No purchase required
- Free cancellation
- Daily 09:00 – 18:00
How it works
Four steps, none of them yours to pay for.
The venue pays us for bringing visitors through its doors. That is the whole arrangement — which is why there is no ticket, no deposit and no minimum spend anywhere on this page.
We collect you
An air-conditioned car meets you in the hotel lobby at the agreed time. Bangkok and Pattaya, door to door.
Walk the exhibition
Roughly ninety minutes: the mining halls, the Thai heritage gallery, the cutting floor and the showroom — with a guide who speaks your language.
We take you back
To your hotel, or anywhere else in the same city you would rather be dropped. Still free, either way.
The experience
From the open pit to the finished stone.
The route inside is arranged as a story, and it runs in one direction: where the rough comes from, what Thailand made of it, and what it looks like once it has been cut.
Ⅰ — The mining halls
Where the rough comes from
Behind the timber doors the exhibition opens with the unglamorous half of the trade: terraced open pits, river gravel, wash tables and the dull, crusted material that comes out of the ground before anyone decides it is worth cutting.
Ⅱ — The great hall
A gilded arch and a wall of emerald
The hall itself is theatre: black polished stone underfoot, a single gilded Thai arch rising the full height of the room, and a photographic wall of rough emerald and sapphire scaled up until a single crystal is the size of a person.
Ⅲ — Thai heritage
The royal barges, in miniature
A darkened gallery holds a long line of royal barge models, each with its crew of rowers in place, lit against gilded reliefs. It is the quietest room in the building and, for most visitors, the one they photograph most.
Ⅳ — The showroom
Counters, as far as the room goes
The floor opens into rows of lit glass counters under crystal chandeliers — set pieces, loose stones, everyday gold. Prices are on the tickets. Nobody follows you around, and walking out with nothing is an entirely normal way to end the visit.
Ⅴ — Your guide
Someone who speaks your language
Signage runs in Thai, English, Russian, Chinese and Korean, and the guides do too. Tell us your language when you book and the right person will be waiting when you arrive.
Inside the complex
Six halls, one building.
Gems are the reason most people come, but the complex is larger than that — and the whole of it is open to you on the same visit.
The jewellery showroom
Rings, necklaces, bracelets and loose stones across the main floor, every piece ticketed and graded.
Exhibition & museum
Mining, cutting and Thai heritage, walked end to end with a guide.
Leather & crocodile
Bags, belts and wallets in genuine crocodile and calf, on a floor of its own.
Latex & sleep
Thai latex mattresses and pillows you can actually lie down on before deciding.
VAT refund desk
In the lobby, by reception. Staff prepare the paperwork for departing tourists.
Café & rest area
Air conditioning, seating and cold drinks when you have had enough of walking.
What to look for
Know the stone before you look at the price.
Ask the guide to show you these side by side, cut and uncut. Twenty minutes of that is worth more than anything you can read beforehand.
Sapphire
Thailand's signature stone. Judged first on the evenness of its blue, then on how cleanly it has been cut.
Ruby
The same mineral as sapphire, coloured by chromium. A warm, slightly pink red is worth more than a dark one.
Emerald
Almost always included — the tiny internal marks are expected here, and a flawless one should raise questions.
Diamond
Colour, clarity, cut and carat — and of the four, cut is the one you can see with your own eyes.
Pearl
South Sea, Akoya and freshwater. Roll one across a counter: the lustre should stay sharp, not milky.
Gold & silver
Settings in 18k and 14k gold, plus silver. Thai gold is stamped, and the stamp is worth reading.
On paper
What you leave with.
Documentation with every stone
Each piece is sold with paperwork covering the stone, its weight and any treatment it has had. Independent laboratory reports — GIT or AIGS — can be arranged on request; ask at the counter before you pay, not after.
7% VAT back on departure
Thailand refunds VAT to departing tourists on qualifying purchases. The refund desk sits in the main lobby and prepares the forms on the spot — keep them with your passport for the airport counter.
Nothing owed to us
The car, the driver and the guide cost you nothing, in either direction, whether you spend a baht or not. We are paid by the venue for bringing visitors — never by you, and never a commission on what you buy.

Questions
The ones we are asked most.
Genuinely free. The venue pays us for bringing visitors to its door — that is our entire income from your trip. You are not charged for the car, the driver or the guide, and you are not asked for a deposit at any point.
No. A large share of visitors leave without buying, and the ride home is exactly the same either way. Nobody at the door checks what you are carrying.
Around ninety minutes inside. Add the drive each way, which depends on your hotel and the traffic — we tell you the realistic door-to-door figure when we confirm your booking, not a hopeful one.
Any hotel in Bangkok or Pattaya, plus condominiums, serviced apartments and private addresses. Send us the name and we will confirm the pick-up point.
Yes — anywhere in the same city. A shopping centre, a restaurant, a beach road. Tell the driver on the way out.
English and Russian as standard. Chinese, Korean and several others can be arranged if you tell us in advance — the signage inside is multilingual as well.
Both are fine. Children are welcome and the building is fully accessible by lift. For groups, give us the headcount and we will send a vehicle that fits everyone in one run.
Message us on WhatsApp or Telegram. There is no fee and no reason required, and you can move the booking as many times as you need.
No. Booking Systems Co., Ltd. is an independent transfer and guide service. We are not part of World Gems Collection Co., Ltd. and we do not sell its jewellery — any purchase you make is a contract between you and the venue, and all questions about goods, prices, certificates and returns are settled with them directly.
