Gemstone Buying Tour

Explore. Learn. Discover the magic of the gem trade.

Have you ever dreamed of stepping behind the scenes of the world’s most vibrant gemstone markets? Where sapphires, spinels and rubies shimmer under tropical light, and deals are made in bustling streets with warm smiles?

Join me, Annie Allan, founder of Lurlina Gemstones, on an immersive journey through the heart of Thailand’s gem trade. Together with my father, Ross Chapman, a gemmologist, opal miner and lifelong teacher with over 60 years of experience, we’ll open the doors to a world few ever get to see.

From the glittering showrooms of Bangkok to the legendary open-air gem markets of Chanthaburi, you’ll experience firsthand how gemstones are sourced, cut, and traded. Whether you’re a jeweller, collector, or curious creative, this is your chance to deepen your knowledge, sharpen your eye, and uncover treasures of your own.

Each tour blends education, exploration, and connection with time to relax, soak up local culture, and share stories with like-minded travellers who share your passion for travel the beauty of natural gemstones.
