I don't think gold will go that low just yet. Many gold mines are shutting down due to the drop in gold prices.(link below) I think it will level out around where it is at now and probably stay there for the next year or two. Although another crisis of confidence could make it balloon again.

Economies of scale.
Today the most serious things that affect our financial security are government power and policies. Whether gold is an effective store of capital, or other assets . . . . is going to be tested repeatedly by market manipulators operating under cover of protections or "stimuli" being favored by actions of our government. . . .
The fundamental reason our welfare is dependent not on government subsidies paid out to some elements of the "voter base" of some political party or another, but actually upon our political will as a nation to restrict the size, power, and effect of government influence on our property, markets, and social policies. The power we tolerate in the hands of politicians is a negative power in it's effects on our welfare, compared to the profits the heavy hand of government power can bring to the fat cats whose minions prowl the halls of congress and manipulate our President. . . .
Would I go back there to live permanently? May be. But not in Bangkok. May be Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin... somewhere you can appreciate and enjoy the nature a bit more...
Phuket?
