Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (baht [Thailand]) The baht [Thailand] is a traditional weight unit in Thailand, now equal to exactly 15 grams or 1/40 catty (0.5291 ounce). The baht, originally the weight of a silver coin of the same name, is used to measure the weight of precious metals. The unit is pronounced bot. Unit Definition (dram) The dram is a unit of weight in the traditional avoirdupois system, equal to 1/16 ounce or 1/256 pound. One dram equals about 1.7718 gram. The word dram comes from a Latin weight unit, the dragma, and derives ultimately from the Greek drachme, meaning a handful. The word is usually spelled "drachm" in Britain and "dram" in the United States, but both spellings are pronounced "dram." The avoirdupois dram is sometimes abbreviated dr. av. to distinguish it from the apothecaries' dram.
