My wife was given 1 rai of land recently and she has to travel to the country(Nong Khai) to witness government officials measuring the land so they can calculate the amount of tax that needs to be paid, does anybody know what this figure could be, neither my wife nor any of her family members have any idea/experience of this. What can we expect the damage to be?

Here is some useful information to give you an idea. We just transferred and it's fairly accurate of course the solicitor added a few baht for himself
