Chiang Mai gold reference context
THB per 1 baht-weight of 96.5% Thai gold
Gold bar sell: ฿70,500. Gold bar buy: ฿70,300. Reference price is national; local shop variation comes from spread, workmanship, receipt detail, and buyback terms.
- 1 baht-weight = 15.244g
- 1 salung = 0.25 baht-weight
- Thai shops quote in THB per baht-weight
- Baht-weight is a gold weight unit, not ฿1 currency.
- Thai 96.5% domestic gold is not the same unit or purity as raw USD per troy ounce benchmarks.
- Ornament pricing can include workmanship or premium.
How to use this city context
Chiang Mai is a regional convenience market. The national Gold Traders Association quote is still the shared reference, while the local question is whether the spread, workmanship, receipt quality, and buyback convenience are good enough for this trip.
Where to compare shops in Thailand
These are buying-context cards, not different official city prices. The national Gold Traders Association quote is shared across Thailand; local difference comes from spread, workmanship, receipts, and buyback convenience.
