It's mostly the Chinese driving it. They are gold crazy. In Thailand, the wealthiest Thais are usually Chinese / Thais. Same with a lot of other SE Asian countries. We literally have streets full of gold shops, one after another.
This is just one tiny part of the street, one side of the street, but this is just one gold shop area in Chinatown in Bangkok. All of the red signs are big gold shops, all the others are either something else or smaller gold shops. This street goes on for like 1/2 a mile and has a lot of side streets shooting off of it, also full of gold shops. It's just crazy.
