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 Grains
A grain (gr) is the smallest unit in both the avoirdupois and troy weight systems, equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams. Originally defined as the mass of a single grain of barley or wheat from the middle of an ear, it has been a standard of weight since ancient times. Today, grains are used to weigh gunpowder charges and bullets (a standard .308 rifle bullet weighs 168 gr), pharmaceutical preparations in apothecary compounding, and the fineness of gold alloys. Arrowhead and fishing hook weights are also specified in grains.
