How the calculation works

A square wah comes from squaring a length of one wah (2 metres), which makes one square wah equal to 4 square metres — so the conversion is a straight multiplication by 4. It's the standard unit for subdivided housing estates, townhouses and condominiums across urban Thailand.

Example: a 50-square-wah housing plot equals 200 square metres — a figure that lines up directly against a house's usable floor area or a condo unit's size, both usually quoted in square metres.
