I searched the term " 18k baht gold necklace with jade pendant " and came up with some similar pieces. Thai gold is referred to as baht gold, and is used as currency. Hope this helps. I have found a few pieces of Thai Baht gold over the years.

yes it is buddha --there are several types of "buddha figures" -- yours is a common thai type version --- "baht" by the way is a thai money unit --- trust me yours looks like a high quality 18k "baht" thai womans buddha necklace 
been to thailand before their famous for their jewelry making --ask my 1st (ex wife) -- she got several nice things from my visit there many years ago when we were still married. --some of it jade. ---thai's tend to be small a 16 inch one could be a womans size one.

Always nice to see something a bit different here on Tnet. That is an excellent piece! I am sure that is worth some pretty good cash. Either way, since that is such an unusual find and we hardly ever see Jade jewelry here I am voting this as a Banner find all the way. Congrats and let us know what more you find out about this. jgas

Very Nice FIND! Congrats!
I agree that this is definitely BANNER material. That 2nd photo, especially, shows the jade's beauty. Superb Piece!
