Tom,
I got my the necklaces and I have to say I was stunned by
the beautiful craftsmanship of them. I am so happy! They were well worth
the wait. I really appreciate your time and work making my order
correct. I have to say in the beginning I was scared to send that much
money to another country without having anything to show for it. But now
it's truly amazing. You and your wife really out did yourselves. I now
have friends I can trust in the future. Thank you two so much for making
this a pleasant transaction. FIVE STAR SERVICE!! Again thank the both of
you for your time on these!

September 19, 2017 Years ago, I was stationed in Thailand with the Air Force.
At that time I purchased a one baht gold chain, which I
have regretted selling.
After looking at several different vendors, I selected
Tom to provide me with information regarding the purchase of a new two
Baht chain and Amulet. And purchase, I did.
Tom is very informative, having several videos on U-Tube.
Communication was easy, as he is an Expat American.
Both items, the Amulet and necklace are beautiful. Thai
gold stands above any on Earth regarding beauty and quality.
Tom is a pleasure to do business with. He is
knowledgeable, communicates well and earns my trust.
I look forward to the purchase of another chain very
soon!

Thank
you Thomas for the 6 Baht, 23 inch aviator chain. I love it. You can't
find gold in this purity, color, design here in the U.S.. I've always
wanted a nice unique gold chain in pure gold and you delivered. Smooth
transaction, great contact throughout the process. I don't know why anyone
would settle for used jewelry when you can order what you want the way you
want it. I'm so glad I found 23kgold.com. God bless you and your
family.

Thank you for your effort. Venus Jewelry would send a Limo to the airport and pick us up when we hit country. Close the shop and have a private showing/party. Best years of my life 89-95 in and out of the region and Oki. Still travel the region, just not as often and not as much fun, miss the adrenaline rush.

Hey Thomas ,
I wanted to show you a pic of the necklace and bracelet
together. I am actually typing with one hand on my phone and my macaw on
the other hand. He doesn't like when I talk on phone due to not showing
him any attention haha. I always have my chain tucked in when iam with
him, but the bracelet is a different story haha. When he first saw it
his eyes were locked on it but he knows better.
Btw his name is tookie and he's 2 years old. He's my baby
boy. Anyways talk to you soon take care ..

I took my time before making a decision about taking two inches off. I am just gonna leave it the way it is since it doesn't make such a big difference. I went to the jeweler and he himself said to leave it the way it is haha. He was shocked when he saw the chain. It's a beauty of a piece . It was great doing business with you Tom and looking forward for more purchases with you . Be well
Thanks,

Received the chain late this afternoon. I am very happy
with it, but Sandy is most thrilled. It's a very pretty chain, and I am
grateful to you.
As far as trading up, I'll keep it in mind - it is doubtful
that Sandy would give it up.
Your happy customer,

January 06, 2017
Hello Tom,
I just wanted to follow up and tell you thank you so very
much for the wonderful Baht chain necklace.
You are truly doing great craftsmanship with your jewelry
and so much nicer than a standard mass produced product, it is hard to
to find this quality anymore. It is also difficult to find the unique
Thai Baht type chain that you have (as well as some of the other styles
on your site). In addition your approach and all your help and support
in making the purchase and following up was fantastic. Amazingly nice to
find unique quality and service like yours, thank you.
The necklace also has great sentimental value to me as I
think of it as a connection to my father, who was an Air America pilot
in Vietnam and Thailand in the late 60's and early 70's. I was actually
born in Saigon in 1967 and my brother in Bangkok in 1971. I have fond
feelings for SE Asia and the necklace is a way to continue my connection
to my father who has passed away and the place of my origin that I hope
to return to visit some day.
I am wanting to get some items for my wife and children
as well so I look forward to talking more with you in the future.
Thank you again for everything and sending best wishes
for you all to have a fantastic new year!
Todd

Nov 18, 2016 Tom,
I got the chain and amulet yesterday. I could not be more pleased.
Question: can you also make the aviator chain in an "endless" design?
I really like the clasp, but at some point in the future may order
another. The endless would be stronger and more secure for outdoor
activity. Thank you very much!
Semper Fi,
Rick

From: Leo Brunner, October 6, 2016
Dear Tom,
Ordering on the internet is a way of life for contractors overseas so I am not to shy about making purchases but it also is way to easy to get taken to the cleaners so I was a little hesitant about ordering a new chain to replace the one stolen from around my neck (aviator link) in the Philippines two years ago (I knew better but took the risk and lost a treasure for my foolishness).
Recently this was my second or third look via the internet for Baht chains. I was actually looking at a competitor’s site and decided up to look at what other sites have to offer: So happy I landed on 23kgold.com.
I appreciate your patience and addressing my concerns by responding to all my questions. I was somewhat nervous about shelling out a lot of coin to a foreign country. Reviewing customer feedback all said great things so I decided go with the 20” anchor link chain. It only took about a week to craft and I had it in my hands about 8 days later.
I really appreciate you breaking new ground and working with me on the shipping peculiarities. My address is an APO address and you were hesitant to work through a mail forwarding firm like www,shipitapo.com.
The process was a smooth transaction and I am thoroughly happy with the quality of service, craftsmanship of the piece, and delivery. I would recommend your site to anyone looking to purchase high quality almost pure gold jewelry.
Fair Winds and Following Seas,
Leo Brunner ITC(SW/AW), USN (Ret.)

Thanks for the info below.
Got the chain and it really is
stunning....I will write something up for you with a little more
meat on it. Thanks again! Mike
Hello Tom. I want to thank you for the stunning 23k chain that you had made for me. I have never made a purchase this large over the Internet but because of our correspondence and your depth of knowledge I knew that I could trust you. I have been looking for a gold chain for some time as a result I did a lot of research. I found that the Thai’s have a long legacy and an almost religious appreciation for fashioning gold into wearable art that in many ways exceeds that which you would in other countries know for high quality gold jewelry. The chain that I purchased from you is made to this Thai standard and speaks to level of craftsmanship that went into it’s production! In closing, thanks for your honesty and attention to detail that began at the start and I am totally pleased with the chain and having chosen you to represent me in a place so far away. |

Beautiful Chain and Pendant
Dear Tom,
This morning, the beautiful chain and pendant arrived.
Both pieces of jewelry are as splendid as you said they would be.
The detailed craftsmanship, rich color of the gold, and elegant
style is fashionable yet masculine enough for me. I appreciate
your extremely diligent customer focus. Especially noteworthy were
your close and constant communications with me. In addition to reassuring
me of your trustworthiness, it made the entire process seamless and
stressless. Thank you for carefully and strategically negotiating with
the goldsmiths on my behalf. You have a customer for life and I will
gladly refer your company to family and friends. I encourage
everyone with an intention of purchasing gold to do it soon. Prices
are approaching levels not seen in my lifetime. In fact, when I visited
Thailand in 1971, gold was approximately $35.00 and ounce. If I
only had the foresight to see where prices were headed.
Thanks again Tom! Good luck with your business!!
George

Hi Tom,
Yes I received the chain today as well as your phone call. I was up in an
extremely hot attic pulling wires at the time, so unfortunately I couldn't get
to my phone. As for the chain, it is beautiful - exquisite - stunning - all
three of those descriptions fit it very well. I put it on and it made my
other gold chain that I had been wearing look like rubbish. The
craftsmanship is of the highest quality and it has such a rich look to it.
The length is perfect - not too long, but not too short.
Thanks Again,
Robert

Tom –
Testimonial: “What follows is an unsolicited testimonial
– not an advertisement.
I decided to deal with Thomas Pryor Jr. at Siam Imports,
LLC after doing more than a year’s research on manufacturers of high-grade
custom designed gold jewelry. I
could not be more pleased with my experience with Mr. Pryor.
He consistently informed me as to the status of the
manufacture of the three pieces that I had designed and ordered.
The manufacturing process did not take long and when the jewelry arrived
my wife was absolutely thrilled with her two pieces.
My chain far exceeded my highest expectations.
Thank you Tom and Siam Imports LLC.
A grateful customer from Maryland.
Hi, Tom
Just want to let you know I received the braided necklace, and really like it a lot! Thanks for getting me this perfect length and style. Will keep watching your auctions. Hope you are doing well.
Kathleen
Tom, The necklace arrived this morning. So heavy for a thing so small ! And the alloy's color and luster are quite fine. Needless to say, we are delighted. Not only with the jewelry, but also with your service and personal touch. Expect many more orders from us and our friends in the future. Meanwhile, we wish you and your wife the very best. Thanks again. Greg
Dear Mr. Pryor, I just wanted to extend a personal thank you for staying true to the promises on your Ebay site. Your Ebay site is very informative and professional. I am equally impressed with the substantial beauty of the bracelet I just received. It compliments the other 23k jewelry I own. I hope to do further business with you in the future. Don't be surprised if I email you very soon asking if you have more of this PIKUN bracelet. I have 4 sisters who I know will be very envious of my recent acquisition. My best wishes to you and your wife on your pending return travel to Thailand. Sincerely, Annabelle
Hi Tom, shipment arrived on Thursday. Love the Necklace!!!!!!!!!!!as well as the silk. Thanks for the great service. It was nice doing business with you. Will check out your future auctions. Greetings, Gabie
Mr. Tom Pryor, THANK YOU!! We did receive my necklace and I just LOVE it!! My birthday was Saturday, it was a gift from my husband Dana. Again we couldn't be happier!!! Sincerely, Dana & Cindy Jo
Hello Tom, The necklace is WONDERFUL!!! I could not be happier! It was well worth the wait. I just want to say thank you for the great communications and service. I will be regularly checking your Ebay auctions and when ever I need a piece of QUALITY gold jewelry I will check with you before looking anywhere else. I'm sure we will be doing business again in the near future. Thanks again and as always, Best regards, Chris
I'm happy beyond belief Tom....it is wonderful.....you didn't give it justice in your description.....it is exactly what I wanted.....thank you so very much!!!
Tom - The necklace arrived today. It's much more delicate than a lot of Thai necklaces and that makes it quite special. Many thanks. Brenda
Hi Tom, The beaded chain just came! What a beauty - I love it. It is around my neck right now - it is so smooth and comfortable. I bought this one for me and it is perfect. Thanks so much for offering such high quality and beautiful items and for the excellent service. You are great to do business with. Paige
Hi Just wanted to let you know the earrings arrived today and they are just beautiful! Mom was thrilled--she never thought she'd find a pair of hoops let alone ones as large and lovely as these! Thanks so much Lauren
