Si Chan Road and Gemstone Road serve as the economic and cultural epicenters of Chanthaburi, particularly concerning the trade of precious stones and jewelry. Chanthaburi is recognized as the "Colored Gemstone Capital" of Thailand and a major global hub for the gem trade. People from around the world travel to this street to buy and sell valuable stones such as rubies, sapphires, and yellow sapphires (Bussarakam), which are openly and vigorously traded. The atmosphere here is one of expertise, trust, and intense negotiation. The area features shops passed down through generations, alongside gem cutting factories that still preserve traditional craftsmanship.

This street is not only a marketplace but also a reflection of Chanthaburi's long history as a key source of gemstones and a vital trading center. Visitors can experience the unique local charm by observing the daily lives of those in the gem industry, watching cutting demonstrations, and witnessing the regular bargaining that takes place. The main Gem Market, operational primarily from Friday to Sunday, is the most bustling period, where dealers bring high-quality gems for display and auction, making the street lively and full of exciting stories.
