About Baht (weight)
The baht (บาท) as a unit of mass equals 15.244 grams and is the traditional gold weight standard of Thailand. While the baht is now primarily known as Thailand's currency, its weight meaning remains very much live: Thai gold jewellery is universally sold and priced by the baht weight. A '1 baht gold chain' in a Thai jewellery shop contains one baht (15.244 g) of gold alloy. Gold shops (ร้านทอง) throughout Thailand, and in Thai communities worldwide, post daily buying and selling prices per baht of gold.
About Apothecary Ounces
An apothecary ounce (oz ap) is identical in mass to the troy ounce - approximately 31.10 grams - and equals 8 apothecary drams or 480 grains. It was the standard ounce used by pharmacists and physicians across Europe and North America from medieval times until the 20th century. Although the apothecary system has been replaced by SI units in modern medicine, the apothecary ounce still appears in historical pharmacopeias, traditional herbal medicine texts, and some compounding pharmacy references.
