How this helps travel recommendations

Turns gold, gems, and jewelry into source-backed decisions: Thai 96.5% gold price context, HS71 trade flow, lab-report verification, shop/market geography, mining/mineral context, standards, AML/labeling caveats, and fraud-risk checks.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use Gold Traders Association and TFEX for Thai gold/futures, GIT/MOC/Customs for HS71 trade, DPIM/DMR for mineral context, GIT/AIGS/GIA/IGI for report verification, DBD/Bangkok Gems/TGJTA for business discovery, and OSM/POI sources only for location enrichment.

Recommended refresh

Refresh daily, or more often only when the source publishes explicit current-status fields.

Failure modes

  • There is no single precious-metals-and-gems API.
  • Thai 96.5% gold-baht prices are not the same as global USD/troy-ounce spot gold.
  • Gold price pages can be public web rather than official JSON APIs.
  • Gemstone value is not a clean public price feed because treatment, origin, weight, color, cut, clarity, and lab report drive value.
  • Trade statistics are not retail prices or quality-adjusted stone prices.
  • Lab report verification is report-specific, not a bulk open report database.
  • Company records, fair exhibitors, and OSM shop POIs do not prove inventory, authenticity, or consumer trust.
  • Benchmark, POI, review, and price feeds can have strict licensing limits.
  • Free registration, keys, or rate limits can interrupt automated refresh.
  • Geospatial layers can be large, tiled, or projection-specific.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
