We have a two bedroomed bugalow both on suite, a fairly large garden and lots of trees to care of. Our bill is always between Baht 450 and 500. This does not bother me in the least.

In Pattaya trucked in water costs me 200 - 300 bath to fill my tank. I think the tank on the truck is about 2000 litres, but that doesn't matter - you'll pay the same for 1000 or 2000 litres unless you can share it with a neighbour.

Bought some water on Thursday, rained on Friday and again today. Tanks are overflowing.
