What is a Chi? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The chi (3.75 g) is one tenth of a Vietnamese luong (tael) and the everyday unit for gold in Vietnam. Locally it is written chỉ. One chi equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — THB.
Where it is used. SJC bars are sold in 1 chi, 5 chi and 1 luong sizes, and jewellery is quoted in chi with the purity stated as 24K, 18K or 610. The unit is the trading standard in Vietnam.
Pricing conventions. Vietnamese SJC-branded gold has historically traded well above the world price because of import limits, so a local chi quote and a converted world price can differ substantially. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. One luong equals 10 chi equals 37.5 g, matching the Taiwanese tael.

Buying Platinum in Thailand: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per chi, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Thai Baht. Physical buyers in Thailand pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Bangkok's Yaowarat (Chinatown) gold shops. Buyers there generally watch the Gold Traders Association buy/sell quote updated many times a day as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium carry 7% VAT and have a small retail market compared with gold. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in THB can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same chi of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Thailand are Yaowarat gold shops, Gold Traders Association members, TFEX gold futures and gold savings plans. The products most often quoted locally include 1 baht ornament gold, 96.5% bars, gold necklaces sold by baht weight.
Local conventions. Thai gold is quoted per baht weight (15.244 g) at 96.5% purity, with buy and sell prices posted publicly by the Gold Traders Association. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per chi with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline THB quote.
