Thailand Land Measurement

Thailand has its very own units of measurements when dealing with land, which can be a little confusing at first. The units you will come across most often are talang wah and rai. Talang means squared, so 1 talang mett is 1 sqm. Metric units are used when dealing with buildings.

Thai to Metric

• 1 Wah = 2 m
• 1 Talang Wah = 4 sqm
• 1 Rai = 1600 sqm
• 1 Rai = 400 Talang Wah
• 1 Rai = 0.40 Acre (approx.)
• 1 Rai = 0.16 Hectare
• 1 Ngan = 100 Talang Wah

Metric to Thai

• 1 m = 0.5 Wah
• 1 sqm = 0.25 Talang Wah
• 1 Acre = 2.53 Rai
• 1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai
