THB per 1 baht-weight of 96.5% Thai gold

Unit clarity
  • 1 baht-weight = 15.244g
  • 1 salung = 0.25 baht-weight
  • Thai shops quote in THB per baht-weight
Do not confuse
  • Baht-weight is a gold weight unit, not ฿1 currency.
  • Thai 96.5% domestic gold is not the same unit or purity as raw USD per troy ounce benchmarks.
  • Ornament pricing can include workmanship or premium.
