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 Newtons
The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, but because weight is technically the gravitational force on a mass, newtons are the scientifically correct unit for what most people call 'weight.' At standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²), 1 kg of mass exerts a weight force of approximately 9.81 N. Scales in physics labs and engineering contexts display results in newtons rather than kilograms. The distinction matters in aerospace and high-altitude contexts: an astronaut's mass stays constant at, say, 70 kg, but their weight in newtons changes from ~686 N on Earth's surface to nearly 0 N in free-fall orbit.
