We had to order 2 of those yesterday in order to drill the well. Not particularly clean water either. The bath room last night was tainted yellow with the sediments in the trucked water supplies. My wife says we used the best part of 6,000 litres to drill the well - and after drilling most of that went to watering the front garden, very muddy under foot.Last night Surin.

Any update on nightlife venues aka Soi Kola, restaurants and local shops?We're coming up today.
My wife tells me many of the restaurants are closed because of the lack of water. You may have to shop around and/or stick to the main shopping centers like Robinson's. Even Robinson's have closed the WC's on the 1st floor although those on the ground floor are still working. The lack of water is a real problem for most of Surin - there just isn't any. What water there is is being trucked in. People are being laid off work because of the water situation.Any update on nightlife venues aka Soi Kola, restaurants and local shops?
Rice on the 214 was stunted for lack of rain but it was alive. Numerous canals and ponds have water in them. At the turn off on the 214 for the rock quarry GPS 14.7627666025, 103.430924091 saw three pick ups each with two 2000 liter white plastic tanks going in and three tucks with same coming back out. Took a detour and dropped one of the locals off at the Surin Prison to visit her son.
They were doing a brisk business selling lotto tickets and mama noodles. Then the boss went into town as we came back out on to the 214 by the army camp. The Elephant Roundabout is the staging area for the water haulers and it was stuffed. Safe to say if this crisis does not get solved the elephant breakfast will be looking for a new restaurant. Saw not only the red civil defense fire pumpers but military and private pumpers. Saw numerous drillers out and about along with numerous water trucks. Arrived at Big C and the parking lot was only about half full. We parked directly in front. Went to the restroom in back of the food court and the court area did have customers but was far from busy, all the food stalls were open. What was a dead giveaway that there was a problem outside every 3 rd aisle I would trip over a body. The place was deserted of customers. Personally I loved it.
As we were living at the south end of Big C there sit a 20000 liter private water tanker pumping water into Big C' tanks. 
We departed and me boss stopped at her favorite restaurant just next door to Makro. This restaurant was open and doing a brisk business. The old IQ area looks like a ghost town. That area imho needs a proper mall not a DIY.

Surin Hospital, which was facing a major water shortage last week, has been saved from its water emergency following the construction of eight artesian wells.
“The situation is now relieved,” Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said on Tuesday after officers from the Armed Forces Development Command were ordered to help build the facilities, including a water purifier.
The state-run hospital, a key medical establishment in Surin and adjacent provinces, had earlier set up a crisis centre to deal with the regional water shortages.
The hospital alone needs between 800,000 and 1,000,000 litres of water per day, but agencies could only deliver about 10% of that amount, or 80,000 litres, to alleviate the problem.
Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow, who helped coordinate the military help, said he has not found any other hospitals facing the same problem.
He believes the province will eventually get through the unusual drought, as there are still some water sources available to areas facing the shortage, and they have also seen more rainfall recently.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is scheduled to visit Surin and neighbouring Buri Ram next Monday to inspect the measures used to relieve the shortage.
What about water for the mortals of Surin.
A estimated 4,000 thb drill hole ends up with a lot more in total cost I can see
For how long is it expected the filters will last before replacement, and what is the price for new filters?
And where did you buy these filters? I guess I will go for something similar.
SODS Law at it's best. You will have fun getting the drilling rig on site and even more fun getting it off again afterwards. Good luck.
What about it?That OUTSTANDING NEWS.
