Au22K Gold Price in Thailand Today

22 karat gold contains 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals (usually copper and silver), making it about 91.6% pure — which is why it is hallmarked 916. The small amount of alloy makes 22K noticeably harder and more durable than pure 24K gold, while retaining a rich gold colour. That balance of durability and gold content makes 22K the standard for traditional jewellery across much of Asia and the Middle East.

Thai gold jewellery is traditionally 96.5% pure (23.04K) — a unique national standard between 22K and 24K. It is sold by "baht weight" (one baht of gold ≈ 15.244 grams), with shops in Bangkok's Yaowarat district quoting buy and sell prices for both ornament and bar gold.

The 22K price is a fixed proportion of the pure gold price: multiply the 24K rate by 22 ÷ 24 ≈ 0.9167. For example, if 24K gold costs 100 THB per gram, 22K gold is worth about 91.67 THB per gram of metal value. Jewellery shop prices add workmanship and retail margins on top of this metal value, which is why in-store prices are usually higher than the spot-derived rate on this page.
