Can anyone recommend a good plumber. Not bothered if he's thai or farang. Needed for work at our house, want to get the hot water system working properly, and check out all the plumbing including our water pump (we have a bore hole and pump water up to a storage tank, then gravity feeds the house), to make sure we have the right kit and filters etc installed. We buy our drinking water so our supply is just for washing and the toilet.

Will pay thai rates for thai plumber; farang rates for farang plumber. But plumber must know what he is doing.

We live about an hour's drive from Chaiyaphum, heading north.

Hi interesting about your plumbing request .

I am a qualified plumber worked in the trade since I was 16 BUT changed to become an English teacher here 4 years ago. I sympathise with you because I have experienced Thai tradesmen ( ha ha ha ) But you have to be realistic A Thai plumber would expect about 200 Baht a day BUT a Farang plumber would want at least 5.000 Baht. ( but with a farang you get the job done quicker and properly )

I never want to return to plumbing because I enjoy teaching BUT if you need help or advice my msn is [email protected]

I am based in Mahasarakham but travel frequently to Udon to see my gf
