hello, I am French, married to a Thai woman. we live next to Tak. I've been trying to dig 2 wells. one with buzzards, they stopped at 5.50 m, they were afraid. I have water if the year is wet. another time, drilling down to 12 m, going back up, there was only 10 m depth and 50 liters of water to pump. they do not have the drilling head to drill into the pebble soil (the Ping River is 300 m away as the crow flies). you are lucky to have a floor with good soil. I read that you could drill up to the limit of 15 m, after which you had to request authorization. Did you have to do it for yours? thank you for this informative video, I like it.
Dude i had paid a lot more but it took a big rig to do it ,they had drill 90m through rock .the first two attemps came up dry but the third hole we sstruck water .
@@pensionandapassportEasy to hit water in Sakon Nakhon. It is part of the 'Ang Mekong' or Mekong Basin. 20 million years ago it was an inland freshwater sea, which is why the land is so flat and sandy in many places. The basin still holds water, not far underground. It was Laos until quite recently in history, when it was annexed by Thailand, who had to give half of their new territory to France, which is modern day Laos. I went there on a fishing holiday a couple of years back. It is a really nice place. Good for you. I loved it. In that part of Thailand, people are mostly friendly and respectful towards white folk as well. I don't have any Thai wife or girlfriend or anything, although every single person automatically assumed I did. They can't imagine you might go there just for fun. You never know what you may find there excavating. Ang Mekong has dinosaur and shell fossils, the ruins of various civilisations dating from the dawn of the Bronze Age till now, and sapphires in some places. When I was a boy, I found a greenstone Holocene axe and a burial ground with jars full of treasure while out fishing. I reported it to the university and government. The villagers promptly looted it ha ha. I own a company in Laos. I just drilled a 110 metre bore well, P150, from the top of the hill to the water table. First, I got guys with a little rig like that one. It didn't cut it. I got a crawler rig out on a semi trailer. That smashed it in. Cost me $2000.

I don't think they had to get any permission. This was my Girlfriends parents place.
30 meter well, 4” diameter casing = $1800. Nothing else included. 4 days to drill the hole in the Philippines.
using a water detector to find the drilling spot will make it easier than blindly drilling into the ground
They used the dowsing rod method if I remember correct.
The music on your time lapse was enough to chase me away from your channel and never look back.

Wow, guess they got lucky at this location. They drilled all day, got it in one shot.
500 ft well in Rural Oregon, 15k USD. And of course no guarantees to hit water haha

What part of Thailand? Im looking to do this in Sakon Nakhon.
Sakon Nakhon, Song Dao area.
@@pensionandapassportdo you have the number of the guy that did your well?
Why on earth would they choose not install a submersible pump? They’re some much more efficient and inexpensive.
I would do a submersible into a tank system if it was mine. Then a second above ground after the tank system to pump to the house.
WHERE IN Sakonnakhon are you My wife is from there to now we live USA WASHINGTON STATE SPOKANE VALLEY
Would like to visit you when we come there Pun na nikom
