Anyone have any luck using a private land surveyor? Land Office in Rayong told me it would take 3 months or more till they could survey and stake the corners of our chanote. 

The Land Office will schedule a much earlier official survey (done by a contractor / private person anyway) so long as you pay to move you up to the head of the line

 

An extra 2,000 THB got my survey done in a week after the  Sattahip Land Office and I came to an understanding on how things work here 

Thanks Lansuan Man. I will go that route if I can't locate a private surveyor. What did the Land Office charge for the survey not including the extra 2000 THB?

I think that the original normal quote was 1,000 THB so it cost me a total of 3,000 THB which was worth it since the developer had just built an interior perimeter wall on the house next to me so I had to insure that the developer followed the chanote's boundaries

 

Ended up finding that the original survey and chanote was off by a meter strip,  the length of my street boundary,  thus increasing my total Talang Wah by about 3 or 4
