Gems Learn Krung

Trawell Thailand joins TCDC for Bangkok Design Week 2023 Take the ‘Gems Learn Krung’ trip to learn about Charoenkrung through its gems and jewelry industry. . This trip takes participants to the doors of 5 Charoenkrung gem masters so that they may choose the 5 jewels that will create their very own bracelet! Meet likeminded individuals and learn about Charoenkrung, Bangkok's longstanding "gem source", from actual residents while also gaining a deeper knowledge of how gems and jewels are sourced. . Beyond being Thailand's first roadway, Charoenkrung is also a haven for jewelry enthusiasts, offering an array of accessories and raw materials from silver and pearl to jade, precious stones and even ceramic as well as the collective knowledge of seasoned experts working away in the many shops that line the road. This trip will be a chance to meet these masters, to hear their stories. . With the COVID-19 situation obstructing visits by the foreign buyers who long kept Charoenkrung lively, its jewelers have recently adapted their ways, adopting a more retail-focused approach and getting rid of minimum purchases. This has only proven nominally effective. . If we help one another, no one would need luck. Take part in a trip bringing life back to the neighborhood. Say 'hello' to 5 gem stores and find rare and unique materials to make a one-of-a-kind accessory, because "If we help one another, no one would need luck".
