View full history →About the Laos gold market
Gold jewellery plays a formal role in Lao marriage customs, traditionally forming part of the bride price or dowry as a symbol of prosperity for the couple. Lao gold trading has also shifted notably toward digital and online platforms rather than only physical shops, a change credited with improving market transparency and giving geographically dispersed rural Lao communities easier access to certified gold.

Methodology
How we calculate the price
- We fetch the international spot gold price (XAU/USD) live from gold-api.com + xaus.com, with automatic failover between providers.
- The spot rate is converted into the local currency using live exchange rates from exchangerate-api.com, then scaled by purity (24K, 22K, 18K…) and by weight (gram, tola, ounce, kilogram, baht).
- The result is the pure spot value. Retail counters may add dealer premium, tax and making charges — the number here is the underlying benchmark.
