12call Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 The units of land measurement in Thailand are the Wah, Ngan, and Rai. Conversion factors between Thai measurements and Metric measurements are: 1 Wah = 2 meters 1 square Wah = 4 square meters 100 square Wah = 400 square meters = 1 Ngan 4 Ngan = 1 Rai = 1,600 square meters Conversion factors between Thai measurements, meters and acres are: 1 acre = 4840 square yards 1 acre = 4,046.8561 square meters 1 acre = 2.529285 Rai (approximately) 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters = 2.471 acres = 6.25 Rai (approximately) Note: Metric measures are commonly used in the construction and measurement of buildings. Land prices are usually expressed in Baht per Rai, or, for smaller plots, Baht per Wah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slackula Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Who brought up this old thread? A newbie? Or an oldie newbie? [off topic] If you look at the post dates the reviver is visible. I always thought that netiquette requires that a newbie on a forum first searches before asking a question, which the reviver clearly did.

Can anyone find good links to these infamous threads of the past? Are you the kind of person who drives really slowly past car accidents or watches F1 hoping for a smash? Forums (forae??) evolve. Periodically they have purges or whatever. A forum is what it is today. If you are too lazy to search for yourself then head over to Fark.com or freerepublic.com or somethingawful.com, plenty of flamewars there daily if you really want to watch cyber-carnage.

I don't watch F1 at all because its the most boring sport in the whole world, and i also don't drive slowly past accidents as this is likely to cause another. However i am interested in the flame wars of the past! Is that so wrong? Bet i'm not the only one either! and why u so touchy are you one of the banned members under a new pseudonym trying to behave?

You get banned for the slightest reasons now, the many regular posters that no longer bother with the site is a good indication of it's demise. Over moderated is an understatement.
