Jimmy,
My info is about three years old but the last time I had have it done it was about 1500 Baht per load. In think the payload on a seventeen tipper is about 10.5 tonnes. You need 800 tonnes. That works out at about 115K Baht.
I have since heard that you can get it done cheaper if done on the fly. I.e find someone who is already bring empty trucks back from Pala U and Kang Krachan and get a quote from them.
If you take a trip up towards Palu U yuu will find a few escvayion sites that may be can give you a good deal.
I reckon that at today's prices you could be looking at 200K but you may get a better deal.
Pop down to GDL pool shop and ask Gary Green. He has been in the game in Hua Hin for centuries.
Also shop around. Jobs like that can vary by four fold.

Absolutely no larking about. A sensible straight forward question gets a straight forward answer.JimmyGreaves wrote:Guess are you just larking about as usual or did you really pay so much because the soil had gold dust in it?
Not sure if I have a ball park at the moment, 60K for 1/2 rai done and dusted, money upfront!
My math might be wrong on the payload of the truck and I am sure that in Thailand they do not worry too much about weight limits. I just remember the cost per load amn of course it may have been an overprice.
Anyway I pointed you in the correct direction. Talk to someone who has done it. Maybe Burger can give you a contact name.
I can not see how something like this gone down in price when Diesel has gone up by 100% but on the other hand with all the building doing on in the area maybe the competition has driven the prices down.
BTW it is nothing to do with the contents of the soil, it is all to do with the cost of the truck, the driver and the fuel.
The distance he has to travel with his load also has some (possibly major) impact on the price.
Sober as a cow flying out of JW's bar after a party.
