Looking for someone experienced to build natural looking waterfall / water feature with koi pond in Mae Rim. Have gotten two estimates so far, both seem high (one was 2.5M and one was 250k just for labor). Obviously 250k sounds a lot better, but just for labor? That seems high, especially considering I have to buy all the materials. They say the job should take 45 days. 

 

Anyone have any recommendations? (Besides going to Khamthien) Thanks! 

It must be going to be as big as the Niagara Falls !  2,5 Million ,but depends

on how big you want it, maybe best to check out a swimming pool builder

so they can get the pipework done correctly,filters etc. important for Koi.

also get recommendations from other people they have done work for,

if they a reputable company and have done this kind of work before should

not be a problem, I had my koi pool built years ago,just by a jobbing builder,

to my design,nothing fancy ,it has not leaked and it's been 20 odd years,

i got some fiber from the UK,to mix with the cement,to stop it cracking,

and just painted it with a special Jotun paint,a paint mixed with hardener.

good luck
