If you are looking at buying property in Thailand you would need to know what land measurements are in Thailand as they are not anything like the West. Do you know the size of a Rai of land? Buying any real estate in Thailand or Krabi always involves measurements. Say you want to buy a condo or a villa in Krabi and the measurements of the property is 1 Talang Wah. Well that is 4 square meters.
If you want to convert Rai to square meters or convert Rai to Acre then use any of these conversions.
Thai to Metric
1 Talang Wah = 4 sq m
1 Ngan = 400 sq m
1 Rai = 1600 sq m
1 Rai = 0.40 Acre
1 Rai = 0.16 Hectare
Metric to Thai
1 sq m = 0.25 Talang Wah
1 Acre = 2.53 Rai
1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai
