Just toying with the idea of purchasing some land hear and was wonderng what 1 Rai equates to.

Anyone know??

1600 sq. m.

Also measured in "gnan" which (if I did my sums correctly) equates to 100 sq wah which is 400 sq meters.

Land is measured in Rai, Ngan and Wah.

1 Rai = 4 Ngan (or 1600 Sqm.)

1 Ngan = 100 Wah (or 400 Sqm.)

1 Wah = 4 Sqm.

1 Acre = 2.5 Rai (approx.)

1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai (approx.)

OK, I'll shut up now.

Land is measured in Rai, Ngan and Wah.

1 Rai = 4 Ngan (or 1600 Sqm.)

1 Ngan = 100 Wah (or 400 Sqm.)

1 Wah = 4 Sqm.

1 Acre = 2.5 Rai (approx.)

1 Hectare = 6.25 Rai (approx.)

Actually Wah is a linear measurement and 1 Wah equals 2 meters.

1 Tarang Wah = 4 sqm.
