Education in thailand?

i will be spending the winter (nov.-march) in southeast asia, and
i’m looking for educational opportunities regarding metalsmithing
and/or gemology, preferrably in bangkok. GIA only has a masters in
diamonds program available, and that’s a bit over my head, since
i’m mostly interested in ruby and sapphire. also we will be at the
bangkok gem and jewelry fair in feb… anyone else out there
attending? dd

Doug,

I highly recommend Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS) in
Bankok. They have short term and longer courses. They know what
they’re doing and they impart their knowledge very effectively.
