i need a couple of tons of sand.

can anyone suggest somewhere preferably at the southern end that can supply this for a sensible price or failing that a company that will deliver from elsewhere?

I am not looking for aggregate but a fine sand

Lets face it, thats all they are gonna do anyway.

You can order through any builders merchant. We use Aik's store on Chofa East, about 300m past Chalong Circle (not far past police station) on left. If you are further south try the builders merchant about 50m in (on left) from main Rawai Rd, junction to Nai Harn (road Don's cafe on).

Cost depends on quantity and type of sand. We pay 2,400 baht for medium sand (3 cubic m), and 2,700 for fine sand (river sand ?) for finish plastering. If you want less (say a pick-up load) then that's less, but transport is a big part of the cost. Price includes delivery.

Tell the shop what kind of sand you want and what type of job you want to use it for. Before they unload it check it's the right sort of sand. We have often ended up the wrong grade (too many small stones).

they charges 450 baht delivered for a pickup of fairly fine grade sand so that seemed ok
