What is a baht (Thai gold weight)
The baht is the Thai gold weight unit: 15.244 grams for bullion and 15.16 grams for jewellery. Do not confuse it with the baht currency — Thai shops quote so many baht (money) per baht (weight) of gold. The Thai purity standard is 96.5% (23 karat) rather than 999 or 916.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is one baht?
One baht equals 15.244 grams. The figure is fixed, so any quote converts directly: gram price × 15.244.
How much is a baht of 23K gold?
The computed metal value is THB 67,699 — 96.5% of the pure-gold price per baht. Jewellers add making charges and margin on top, and pay below this when buying back.
Why does the jeweller's price differ from the computed one?
We show the contained metal value at the exchange price and the official FX rate. Retail prices add making charges, taxes, hallmarking fees and shop margin; buy-back prices subtract a refining discount. The computed figure is a benchmark: it shows how much actual gold a piece holds.
