In Vietnam, the weight of gold is usually measured in taels and chỉ (units of weight). Among these, tael of gold is also known as lượng vàng (a unit of weight of gold).
How many taels are in 1 kg of gold?
1 kg of gold is equivalent to 1000 grams.
According to international units of measurement, 1 gold bar = 1 tael of gold = 37.5 grams
Meanwhile:
1 kg of gold = 266 taels of gold
266 taels of gold = 26 taels, 6 taels, and 6 phân (units of weight for gold)
1 gold bar = 10 taels of gold = 37.5 grams
1 chỉ (unit of weight) of gold = 10 phân (unit of weight) = 3.75 grams

From that, we can deduce that 1 kg of gold = 26 taels, 6 mace, and 6 fen = 997.5 grams of gold.
Things to note when converting from kilograms of gold to gold bars.
Domestic gold prices are always fluctuating and influenced by the global gold market. When converting from kilograms of gold to gold bars, customers should note the following:
- You should ask the seller to provide documents related to the origin and quantity of the gold to ensure it is genuine.
- If you want to exchange for gold of equivalent value, you should exchange it for 24k gold, which has the highest purity.
- It is not advisable to buy gold for investment when the gold market is highly volatile and unstable. This is because buyers are more likely to face risks during such times.
