slippery when wet Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I am considering buying some land soon to sit on so that me and my thai wife can return to Thailand in approx 5 years time but I am unsure of the measurements converting from 1 rai into sqm. Can anyone tell me how many sqm in a rai. Thanks slippery......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 1 rai = 1,600 sqm a traditional unit of land area in Thailand. The rai is now considered to equal exactly 1600 square meters, which is 0.16 hectare or approximately 0.3954 acre. The rai is divided into 4 ngan. The unit is called the hai in northern Thailand and the lai in Laos. The word means "field," that is, an upland field rather than a rice paddy.
