1 Rai = 4 Ngan
Let's consider a scenario where a piece of land is 2 rai in size.
If you multiply 2 by 4, the result is 8.
2 x 4 = 8 Ngan
This means that 2 rai is equal to 8 ngan.
1 Rai = 400 Square Wah
Let's say you have a plot of land that measures 3 Rai.
To find the equivalent in Square Wah, multiply the number of Rai by the conversion factor (400).
3 Rai x 400 Square Wah/Rai = 1,200 Square Wah
So, 3 Rai is equal to 1,200 Square Wah.
1 Rai = 1,600 Square Meters (sqm)
Imagine you come across a piece of land that measures 2 Rai.
If you multiply 2 by 1,600 to find the equivalent in square meters.
2 x 1,600 = 3,200 square meters
This means that 2 Rai is equal to 3,200 square meters.
1 Ngan = 400 Square Meters
Imagine you come across a piece of land that measures 8 Ngan.
Multiply 8 by 400 to find the equivalent in square meters.
8 x 400 = 3,200 square meters
This means that 8 Ngan is equal to 3,200 square meters.
1 Ngan = 0.25 Rai
Let's say you have a piece of land that measures 8 Ngan.
To find the equivalent in Rai, multiply the number of Ngan by the conversion factor (0.25).
8 Ngan x 0.25 Rai/Ngan = 2 Rai
So, 8 Ngan is equal to 2 Rai.
1 Square Wah = 4 Square Meters
Let's say you have a plot of land that measures 500 Square Wah.
To find the equivalent in Square Meters, multiply the number of Square Wah by the conversion factor (4).
500 Square Wah x 4 Square Meters/Square Wah = 2,000 Square Meters
So, 500 Square Wah is equal to 2,000 Square Meters.
Please note that Thailand does not use the imperial or metric measurement system. Land sizes are commonly measured in Rai, Ngan, and Square Wah (also known as Tarang Wah), which can sometimes be confusing to convert.
Rai - Large Land Measure Unit
Ngan - Not So Common Unit
Tarang Wa (Sqwah) - Used for measuring land and houses in urban areas.
1 Rai = 4 Ngan = 400 Tarang Wa (Sqwah) = 1600 Sqm
1 Ngan = 100 Tarang Wa (Sqwah) = 1/4 Rai = 400 Sqm
1 Tarang Wa (Sqwah) = 1/100 Ngan = 1/400 Rai = 4 Sqm
Land Size Is Usually Shown In The Following Way: Rai - Ngan - Sqwah
So, If You See A Sign 'Land For Sale 4-2-89', It Means 4 Rai, 2 Ngan, 89 Sqwah
4-2-89 = 1889 Sqwah
4-2-89 = 7556 Sqm
4-2-89 = 81,332.11 Sqft
