Praise for primary school kid who saved 4,000 baht to buy her mum a gold ring for her birthday

It’s a lot of money for a person that age to have.  And I did wonder how she was able to save all that money at her age.  I’m surprised that wasn’t asked when she was interviewed.  But it was on Tic Toc.  
But kudos to her.  The young lady did a very nice gesture.  Buying a ring for her mother.

This story is propaganda nonsense, but the math does check out.

 

Thai gold is sold by the baht weight.

 

But each baht weight consists of 4 salungs each weighing 3.81 grams.

 

I see the shop keeper weighed the ring and it the scale registered 1.9 grams so one half of a salung or 1/8 of a baht.

 

1/8 as a decimal is 0.125.

 

If you multiply 0.125 by the current price of 1 baht of thai gold you get (roughly) a 4KTHB sales price.

 

However the shop keepers scales indicated that the ring was just under a proper half salung so short changed the kid it would seem.

 

As an afterthough when rewatching the clip...the ring must also be hollow...it is quite big...and so could never weigh in at 1.9 grams if it was solid gold.
