22 DECEMBER 2018 - CHANTABURI, THAILAND: A Chinese gem buyer talks to a man selling gems in the gem market in Chantaburi. The gem market in Chantaburi, a provincial town in eastern Thailand, is open on weekends. Chantaburi used to be an active gem mining area in Thailand, but the mines are played out now. Now buyers and sellers come from around the world to Chantaburi for the weekend market. Many of the stones come from Myanmar, others come from mines in Afghanistan and Africa. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
