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 Avoirdupois Drams
An avoirdupois dram (dr av) is 1/16 of an avoirdupois ounce - approximately 1.772 grams. Part of the avoirdupois system that governs everyday trade weights in the UK and US, it was historically used to measure small quantities of goods and spices in commerce. While rarely used in modern commerce (having been replaced by grams in most applications), the avoirdupois dram still appears in some spice and herbalist contexts, in US gunpowder loading data (where charges are specified in grains and drams), and in archaic recipe books.
