- Thai gold bar prices fell by THB 1,400 per baht-weight, closing at a selling price of THB 63,150.
- The trading session was highly volatile, prompting the Gold Traders Association to issue 29 separate price updates throughout the day.
- The price swings were driven by a combination of profit-taking and increased buying activity from customers looking to purchase gold at lower prices.
Thailand’s gold-bar selling price dropped THB1,400 per baht-weight from the previous day’s close on Thursday (November 12, 2026), ending at THB63,150 after a volatile trading session.
The Gold Traders Association issued 29 price updates during the day, with its final announcement at 4.53pm.
The source report described profit-taking from the morning session and increased activity at several gold shops, as customers looked to buy at lower prices for long-term accumulation and short-term traders sought opportunities amid the price swings.
Closing gold bar and jewellery prices
The final domestic quotations for gold with 96.5% purity were:
- Gold bars: buying at THB62,950.00 and selling at THB63,150.00 per baht-weight.
- Gold jewellery: buying at THB61,686.04 and selling at THB63,950.00 per baht-weight.
A baht-weight is the traditional Thai unit used to quote gold prices.
The international spot gold reference price accompanying the domestic figures was US$3,945.00 per ounce.
Indicative prices for smaller gold purchases
For buyers considering smaller quantities for investment or gifts, estimated prices based on the gold-bar selling price were:
- Half a salung, or one-eighth of a baht-weight: approximately THB7,893.75.
- One salung, or one-quarter of a baht-weight: approximately THB15,787.50.
- Two salung, or half a baht-weight: approximately THB31,575.00.
- One baht-weight: approximately THB63,150.00.
These figures are proportional estimates based on the bullion selling price of THB63,150 per baht-weight and exclude jewellery-making charges.
Global gold prices and baht movements remain key factors
The source report highlighted international gold prices and fluctuations in the baht as two major influences on the domestic market.
Selling pressure overseas, movements in US Treasury bond yields, important economic data and the policy positions of major central banks can affect demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.
A stronger baht against the US dollar can place additional downward pressure on domestic gold prices, potentially making their decline steeper than movements in the international market.
These factors provide a framework for monitoring prices, although the report did not establish their individual contributions to the day’s fall.
Market commentary urges caution over further declines
Unnamed experts cited in the report viewed the sharp decline as a potential opportunity for long-term gold accumulation but recommended spreading purchases rather than committing all available funds at once, given the possibility of further falls.
The report described this staged buying approach as dollar-cost averaging, or DCA.
It also advised monitoring economic data releases on the evening of November 12 and movements in the baht the following morning before making buying or selling decisions.
