We pay Baht 1000/month for a twice weekly garden service. They usually stay for 2-3hrs for each visit

Based upon our experience a daily rate Baht 250/300 would be about right

Take into consideration where you are and their costs to get there and get to the next job, minimum 500 per day I would have thought.

We pay 7000 baht per month for a full time (approximately 6 hours per day 5 days per week) gardener. I reckon that works out to around 300b per day.

We use the services of a well established company owned by a friend so we pay the maid direct 500 baht per day. She does everything and often has a couple of others with her if she is double booked. As well as a very satisfactory service on the house she cleans up and waters the garden, does any shopping that we want from the markets and takes care of all our bill payments. If she is not doing the windows or has a helper she cooks food for everyone and it is damn good too. The main thing is trustworthy as we leave her in the house on her own with complete proven confidence .

Hey, good idea, maybe we should do that and charge admission to help pay for the maintenance. :D
