Prices can move during the day
A figure on a website or historical sign should not be treated as the confirmed figure for a later inspection date.
Reference information
Use an official gold-price source—and keep it separate from a pawn amount
Check reference prices with their source and announcement time. Market prices can change during the day; a pawn amount requires inspection at a branch.

“Tax base” is the association’s published field, not a net buy-back price or a Money OK pawn amount.
Official price source
Gold Traders Association of Thailand
Open the latest announcement directly on the association’s site and check its date and time. It is market reference information, not an offer from Money OK.
Two prices to keep apart
Why a pawn amount starts from the buy-back price
Sell price vs buy-back price
Two bars share the same starting point but end in different places.
- Upper bar: the sell price — what a gold shop charges you
- Lower grey bar: the buy-back price — what a gold shop pays you
- Gold bracket: the gap most people forget
A pawnshop starts from the lower bar, not the upper. Both prices come from the Gold Traders Association and change daily.
Standard weights help with conversion
The Gold Traders Association states 15.16 g per baht-weight for jewellery gold and 15.244 g for bullion.
A reference price is not a pawn amount
The branch must still inspect weight, purity, other materials, condition and item details before confirming acceptance or an amount.
Weight conversion
Baht-weight, salueng and grams

Details the branch needs to check
- Weight checked by the branchA document or home scale is preliminary; the branch still needs to inspect the actual item.
- Purity and other materialsStones, clasps and other components may need to be considered separately from the gold.
- Condition and item detailsCondition, repairs and other verifiable details may affect how the item is considered.
- Market information on inspection dayGold prices move, so an old figure or a price visible in a photograph is not a confirmed pawn amount.
This tool converts weight only; it does not calculate a pawn amount. Gold prices move, and the branch must inspect the actual item before confirming acceptance or an amount.
