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.

Where to compare shops in Thailand

These are buying-context cards, not different official city prices. The national Gold Traders Association quote is shared across Thailand; local difference comes from spread, workmanship, receipts, and buyback convenience.

Bangkok / Yaowarat

strong

Bangkok / Yaowarat is the strongest gold-buying context right now if you still compare multiple shops against the national quote.

Use the national GTA quote first, then compare multiple Yaowarat shops before paying. Chiang Mai

good

Chiang Mai is workable for gold buying if you keep the national quote visible and check spread and receipts carefully.

Treat Chiang Mai as a convenience market and compare against the national GTA quote before agreeing to local ornament premiums. Hat Yai

good

Hat Yai is workable for gold buying if you keep the national quote visible and check spread and receipts carefully.

Treat Hat Yai as a southern convenience market and keep the national quote visible while you compare local spread, receipt, and buyback terms. Phuket

good

Phuket is workable for gold buying if you keep the national quote visible and check spread and receipts carefully.

Use Phuket only when convenience matters more than the widest shop comparison field, and keep the national quote visible while you compare. Pattaya / Chonburi

good

Pattaya / Chonburi is workable for gold buying if you keep the national quote visible and check spread and receipts carefully.

Treat Pattaya / Chonburi as a convenience context and ask directly about spread, workmanship, and buyback terms before paying.
