350-500 baht per truck load of soil, depending on the size of truck. Personally, I recommend leaving it at least a year (we left ours for 4 years) for it to settle properly. Although I have seen some people have it dumped and then start to build on it a couple of weeks later. Don't know if they will have problems or not.
