angmo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does anyone know of a borehole contractor in Pattaya? I need to drill for water out near Ban Amphur. Thanks, Pieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardog Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Hi There is a Thai man named Wee-Chi out of Sattahib that does boreholes. I know he comes to Bang Sare area & Ban Ampur is just down the road apiece. I have not used him so I cannot give a recommendation based on performance. He does not speak English. If you have a Thai companion have her ask the questions. 083-5979713 Cheers. Edited October 1, 2008 by Beardog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurgen Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) I had a bore hole drilled about 6 months ago and have had clean water ever since. I have several friends who used the same lady and all are happy as well. It was 35,000 baht inc pump and no money changed hands until the job was finished (1 day) As I live next to the lake I thought they would only have to drill about 5 meters but they went down 36 meters before they were happy. I can't remember the ladies name but the number is 0814577862. edit, forgot to mention that the lady doesn't speak English very well Edited October 1, 2008 by kurgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 this is a good one,http://thai-robert.de/galerie/categories.p...d=46&page=8 Hmmm, looking at the pump installed the borehole won't be more then about 15 to 18 meter deep, that's about the deepest you can get water from with those pumps. Anything deeper will need a submersible pump! Actually the borehole might be deeper but you won't be pumping from the bottom, meaning your pump will stop giving water when the water level drops below 18 meter or so.

Robert's pump of course looks a bit like a toy to me. nimms nicht tragisch Robert, ich mach nur ein spässchen und dein haus gefällt mir. congratulations!

Spartacus_m Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi Please PM me - I had a bore hole done about Juen time and then drilled to appros 30m. Mabprachan area, Pattaya. Cost about 45,000 I think. Good chap, reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Some useful borehole info: I'm currently building a house, and the previous contractor put in a 20 meter deep borehole with one of those external injector pumps. Managed to run the well dry in 2 days flat. Now made a 52 meter deep borehole, 6 inch wide, with a .75 KW Franklin submersible pump down in there pumping the water up through a 1" pipe. Expensive at 90,000 Baht but excellent unlimited water now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more realistic, however i would recommend 1 1/4" pipe for a 1HP pump at that depth to avoid back pressure and overloading your sub, i know it does not sound like a big difference but believe me you would be surprised rest assured the above is a good price, not expensive!
