Bangkok Jewelry Week 2024 has started, marking the gem tourism road, increasing recognition, and bringing local soft power to the world. Mr. Pichai Naripthaphan, Minister of Commerce, presided over the opening of Bangkok Jewelry Week 2024 (Gemstone and Jewelry Road) organized by the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (Public Organization) at Ming Muang Square, 1st floor, The Old Siam Plaza shopping center. It is a project to further develop jewelry for creative tourism in old communities on the Gem and Jewelry Road in Bangkok, starting from Bang Rak, Samphanthawong, and Phra Nakhon, which are considered old communities and symbols of the growth of the Thai economic community for a long time. It is a source of multiculturalism and handicrafts. The production of gems and jewelry with identity creates recognition and brings local soft power to the world to see more. Mr. Pichai revealed that organizing the Bangkok Jewelry Week 2024 is the first step to create a new landmark for Bangkok, creating a 'Gemstone and Jewelry Tourism Route: Bangrak, Samphanthawong, Phra Nakhon', pushing Bangkok and Thailand to be a 'destination' for those who love gems and jewelry. For anyone who thinks of buying gems or jewelry, they must think of Thailand. You can be sure that you will definitely get standard jewelry, certified by the GIT Institute and being a member of the Buy With Confidence project. In addition, we have seen cooperation between the public and private sectors in all sectors, which are large entrepreneurs, acting as mentors or gurus for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, opening opportunities for new entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs from various regions to showcase their work and sell their products, allowing the big guys to help the small guys, opening opportunities for those who want to have their own brands or have their own handmade jewelry to come and try it out through various workshops and exhibitions, including opening exclusive visits to jewelry factories to revive the economy and create economic value o n the gem and jewelry streets of Bangrak, Samphanthawong, and Phra Nakhon through tourism, where both Thai and foreign tourists come to visit the event and choose products with standards. In addition, it will create new and interesting tourism experiences on the gem and jewelry street, creating awareness of culture and wisdom as 'Thailand: Land of Jewel' and helping all sectors to grow sustainably. 'I used to do jewelry. I am glad that this business has grown. It is a business that makes buyers happy and sellers happy. It is a good business. I still follow the price of gems and gold all the time. Today, gold still has a tendency to increase because more people are holding gold. There is still an opportunity. For diamonds, gems and jewelry, I believe that they can still grow. I and the Ministry of Commerce will continue to promote jewelry. I am happy to help solve problems for entrepreneurs to the fullest extent so that they can export and sell because it is a high-value industry with many people involved. It has a lot of jobs and can generate a lot of income for the country,' said Mr. Pichai. At the event, Mr. Pichai presented certificates of the Buy With Confidence project to 25 entrepreneurs for the Bangkok Jewelry Week 2024 gem and jewelry tourism route festival, which will be held from October 19-25, 2024, with activities to tour tourist attractions and visit important gem and jewelry business landmarks in Bang Rak and Samphanthawong districts.
