===Elsewhere=== ==== Thailand ==== The [[Thailand|Thai]] equivalent of the tael is known as the ''[[Thai units of measurement|tamlueng]]'', a term derived from [[Khmer language|Khmer]]. It was used as a unit of currency equal to four [[baht]]; nowadays, as a unit of weight it is fixed at 60 grams. ==== Vietnam ==== [[File:Gold_lang_Tu_Duc_CdM.jpg|thumb|120px|Gold lạng (Tael) of [[Tự Đức]].]] In [[French Indochina]], the colonial administration fixed the tael ''({{lang|vi|lạng}})'' as 100 g, which is commonly used at food markets where many items typically weigh in the 100–900 g range. However, a different tael (called {{lang|vi|cây}}, {{lang|vi|lạng}}, or {{lang|vi|lượng}}) unit of 37.5 g is used for domestic transactions in gold. Real estate prices are often quoted in taels of gold rather than the local currency over concerns over [[monetary inflation]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/weird-ways-people-buy-property|title=Weird ways people buy property|first=Shawn|last=Ng |date=September 13, 2017|website=The Edge Markets}}</ref>
