It is not uncommon to have to pay a little Tea money to the land department.

How much do they want.

I also had to get a survey done on my property. In Chiang rai and it cost me 7000 baht and they put in the markers and from there we installed a fence.

Yes it does take them time to do and the tea money was asked for to have it done in a week.

Not a bad price considering I had a lot in Canada surveyed and it cost me about 40 thousand baht at that time .

It's the way things are done here

Sounds about right to me.

My land office wanted twice that for an early appointment for a much smaller plot.

We settled on 15K and they came the same week.

Send me 20,000 baht and I'll answer your question and make your land bigger and in your name.=

We have had this done twice. Each time the measurement could be done in 3 month. Then my brother in law asked to talk alone with the official. The result was, that if we paid for whisky to the boys, it could be done in two days. Price: 1.000 baht.
