Thailand is completely metric... except for fabric.
Everything is measured in kilo, grams, centimeters, milliliters, etc., except cloth, which is sold by the yard.
Coming from the US, I had no clue as to metric usage before I moved to Japan. Took me a while to come to terms with buying meat in the supermarket priced by 100gm units. Kilometers were easier to deal with when driving, horizontal meters pretty easy too, as were vertical distances 'down' when scuba diving. But like many of you, I still have difficulty (after 25 years in Asia) of dealing with small vertical distances up, such as my height.
