The baht is the official currency of Thailand. It is subdivided into 100 satang. The Baht gold weight should not be confused with Thailand’s national currency, the ‘Baht’. Although like a lot of paper currencies, the name ‘Baht’ (the Thai paper currency) is derived from the historic precious metals weight measurement, the ‘Baht’.
Baht gold jewelry contains 96.5% pure gold. The remaining 3.5% components are made up of silver and bronze. Thai gold jewelry with 23K purity has a brilliant and an intense yellow color. 14k gold jewelry is 58.3 % pure gold. Gold jewelry with less gold content will have a lighter yellow color. The standard weight unit for measuring gold in Thailand is the traditional ‘Baht’ unit, with 1 Baht = 15.244 grams or 0.4901 troy ozs.
