Thanks for the info/cost guide aussie. What size bit is used, is plastic pipe included or is this initial borehole cost? What depth did your neighbors well end up at?

Thanks for the info/cost guide aussie. What size bit is used, is plastic pipe included or is this initial borehole cost? What depth did your neighbors well end up at? I didnt measure it but it was around 4", but when you consider the runout of the rig it was probably cutting a 6 to 8" hole. the plastic pipe was purchased by the neighbour, price for the bore only. The intended depth was 10 metres. Considering the land has been filled in preparation for a house, and the relative height to the klong on my land which currently has about 500mm of water in it, I would guess the bore goes down about 7 metres below the dry season water table mark. #129

Having lived and farmed at my current location for 14 years, I have today finally ordered a company to drill a bore. Turns out I have met the guy before, socially, and we have a very good mutual friend, which may have led to a more favourable price.
Will cost B1,600 per metre for drilling and supply of 6” PVC pipe. The chap used metal divining rods to locate the intersection of two underground water sources. He reckons on at least 3-4,000 litres per hour, which exceeds my requirements of 21,000 litres per day to keep my pond topped-up. Rgds Khonwan #130

I have a couple Orchid nurseries, and on my small one which is in Nonthaburi, I have a bore that was actually dug by myself and my wife. Armed with shovels we took turns digging a 4 foot wide bore (lol) ten metres deep......There was absolutely no room to get any decent sized equipment in there so it had to be done....We lined it with the old style concrete tank rings and cemented them in place....No chance of collapsing sides or stuck pump (I have a 2inch submersible that pumps 360 litres per minute at 15 Metres head)....never paid a water bill yet nor had any problems. Cost was very little except for a few beers and having to listen to the Mrs moaning about the blisters lol
