Firstly there is a good thread, but it is old. I am referring to Lawn Grass,

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/170115-grass-seed/

I am looking to seed 4 Rai that has good rainfall, but needs some tips,

What is the real coverage, how much seed will I need, advice ranges on here from 3 kg- 50 kg a Rai ? (Rai = 1800m2)

If you can find any seed, how much is it?

Some have said it is similar price to turf. Well I could fly to Oz, by seed retail in rip off Australian prices, fly back, get top soil delivered and spread and seeded for less than the 4 Rai X 25b a meter.

I am feeling desperate and next trying the Gov Ag departments.

The tiles of turf seem to be 'Japanese' grass. Some say it is hardier in dry months, some people geography around me say try and get the broad leaf 'Malaysian' grass if doing it from seed. Something about the Japanese grass seeds are harder to grow, lighter and blow away easily. Maybe something lost in that conversation though !!!!

Has anyone got any tips on where I should contact next?

(Or the better half contact)

Happy June

Good luck searching for seed,i can only find mats locally near me which i dont fancy.

I currently have five rai in which i just trying to seperate the broad leaf weeds and keep the finer ones to make grass cover,working ok but will take some time.

These are not Thai suppliers, but some useful information re coverage etc. for different kinds of grass seed.

Japanese grass similar to Couch or Kikuyu.

Malaysia grass is a bullalo family grass.

If only !!!!!!!

Seed is virtually unobtainable in Thailand - at least seed that you would want to sow for some nice grass. Even the golf club where I thrash around say they can't get it, although I can't believe that the greens, at least, were formed from turf.
