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 Pennyweights
A pennyweight (dwt or pwt) equals 24 grains or 1/20 of a troy ounce - approximately 1.555 grams. Its name derives from the weight of an English silver penny in the medieval period. Pennyweights are the standard unit used by jewellers and goldsmiths in North America for weighing precious metals: gold, silver, and platinum. When a jeweller quotes the gold weight of a ring or chain, they typically use pennyweights. Gold buyers, refiners, and scrap metal dealers quote prices per pennyweight (often abbreviated 'DWT') when appraising jewellery.
