About Pounds
The avoirdupois pound (lb) is the primary unit of weight in the United States and United Kingdom for everyday use, equal to 16 ounces or exactly 453.59237 grams. It dominates American life: body weight, grocery produce, deli counter cuts, freight shipping costs, gym weights, and building material quantities are all measured in pounds and ounces. American recipes use pounds for meat and large quantities. The pound derives from the Roman 'libra pondo' (a pound by weight) - hence both the symbol 'lb' (from libra) and the British currency symbol '£'.
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.
