90s Pop Star Pim Zaza Surprised by High Value of Melted Gold Collection
Thai singer Pim Zaza and her mother were shocked to discover their collection of scrap gold was worth over 1.9 million baht after having it processed at a gold shop.
On October 31, 2026, popular 90s Thai singer and actress Pimada 'Pim' Boriruksuppakorn visited a gold shop in Saraburi province with her mother to process a collection of scrap gold. The collection consisted of various items, including old earrings and amulet frames that her mother had accumulated over time. The pair sought the expertise of a local gold specialist to melt the scraps down into gold bars. Before the final valuation, the mother estimated the collection might be worth 900,000 baht, while Pim estimated around 700,000 baht. To their astonishment, the final appraisal reached 1,910,241 baht. The shop owner explained that the original scrap gold had a purity of approximately 78%, which many gold shops are hesitant to purchase. By refining the material into standard gold bars, the value became much clearer and more liquid for the owners. This event highlights the potential hidden value in old jewelry and the importance of professional appraisal for those holding precious metals. While the story has gained significant attention, it serves as a reminder for residents and collectors to have their assets properly evaluated by certified professionals rather than relying on personal estimates.
