About Rai
A rai (ไร่) is the standard Thai unit of land area, defined as exactly 1,600 m² (40 m × 40 m). It is used throughout Thailand for all land measurement - from rice paddies to urban plots and national parks. Thai real estate listings always quote land area in rai, ngan (400 m² = ¼ rai), and talang wah (4 m² = 1 square wah). Thailand's total rice-paddy area is reported in millions of rai. One rai equals approximately 0.395 acres or 0.16 hectares.
About Townships
A township (twp) is a large survey unit used in the US Public Land Survey System, defined as a square with sides of 6 statute miles, giving exactly 36 square miles or approximately 93,240,000 m². Each township is subdivided into 36 one-square-mile sections of 640 acres each. The Township and Range system is how most US land west of Ohio was divided and sold; township numbers and names still appear in legal land descriptions, county records, and geographic placenames across the American Midwest and West.
