The ''rai'',, . ''ngan'', and ''tarang wa'' or ''square'' wa are customary Thai units of area, used in the measurement of land. They are defined as exactly 1,600, 400, and 4 square metres, respectively (17,222, 4,306, and 43 sq ft). The ''tarang wa'' (square ''wa'', ''tarang'' meaning 'grid') is derived from the area of a square with sides of 1 '' wa'' (the Thai fathom). One ''ngan'' is equal to 100 square ''wa'', and one ''rai'' ('field' or 'plantation') equals 4 ''ngan'' or 1 square '' sen''. The units were standardized in square metres when Thailand (then Siam) adopted the metric system in 1923, although the Royal Survey Department was already reported in 1908 to be using the metre-based conversion for its cadastral maps A cadastre or cadaster is a comprehensive recording of the real estate or real property's metes-and-bounds of a country.Jo Henssen, ''Basic Principles of the Main Cadastral Systems in the World,'/ref> Often it is represented graphically in a ca ....
