Sums it up.

please send me a pm on this forum when i am in thailand i stay just outside buri ram city it is 150 kilometers from your place i am maybe interested in how to get your contractors send me a pm and maybe we can extchange telefone numbers so we can talk

Looking good. The B200 per week service charge for the septic tank I do not understand. We have several septic tanks and the cleaning company comes once or twice per year depending upon the need. Not even close to paying B200 per week. I would have to ask the boss, but I am thinking maybe B1000 a year per tank if that much.

i acualy live in Nondindaeng about 30 km fron Nong Rong, i go to Burrium a coulple times each 8 weeks i am back, here is my email here at work

I noticed no one uses a leach field for their septic system. Is there some reason for this or do they just not do it?

i will ask about that, honestly i don't know what that is your talking about,,i was a city boy in texas, always had city utilities,, can you exlplain?

here is a few photos before i head out of here at work,,bricking is going good,
