16 baht a square meter.
That buys two sheets of Japanese Sungrass at 8 baht each. Delivery anywhere in Thailand is added by distance, and you hear the total before you agree to anything.
Work out your lawn.
Give the size in meters, or the way a Thai title deed gives it: one rai is 1,600 square meters, one ngan is 400 and one square wah is 4.15
- 50.5 m² of grass: your 48 m² plus 5%, rounded up to whole sheets
- 808 baht for the grass, at 16 baht a square meter
- It rides on a pickup. One Thai farm rates a caged pickup at 900 m².
- Delivery is extra and goes by distance. Call for that number.
The 5 percent allowance for cutting and fitting is the one a university extension guide to laying sod recommends.11 The truck sizes are one Thai sod farm's own figures for its trucks.1
How 16 baht compares.
These are the prices Thai sod sellers had on their own websites for Japanese grass on the day we set ours. Each is for the grass alone. Delivery is charged by distance there too.1
| Seller | Price | What their page adds |
|---|---|---|
| Chompoonuch sod farm | 12 to 15 | Cuts to order and trucks all over the country.1 |
| A sod seller's "today's prices" page | 13 to 16 | Warns that its prices rise and fall.2 |
| Nattapon sod farm | 15 | Asks buyers to call, because the price follows demand and supply.3 |
| Samraan sod farm | 16 | No minimum order.4 |
| Japanese Sungrass, which is us | 16 | Set on November 13, 2026. |
From outside the trade: a turf scientist who works in Thailand has put Thai-grown manilagrass, the country's other common zoysia, at about 15 to 25 baht a square meter collected from the farm.5
What a truck holds.
Delivery cost follows the distance and the size of the truck. For a sense of scale, this is how one Thai sod farm rates its own trucks.1 The baht figures are our grass price times the load.
Caged pickup
1,800 sheets. A full load of our grass is 14,400 baht before delivery.
Six-wheel truck
4,400 sheets. A full load of our grass is 35,200 baht before delivery.
Ten-wheel truck
6,000 sheets. A full load of our grass is 48,000 baht before delivery.
That farm describes its routine this way: it cuts in the late afternoon, when the sun is weak, so the sheets reach the buyer in the morning as the workers arrive.1 However your grass travels, have people and a hose ready when it lands. Laying it has its own page.
Questions about the price.
Is delivery included?
No. The 16 baht is for the grass. Delivery depends on the distance, and we quote it together with the grass so that you see one total.
How much extra should I order?
About 5 percent more than the area you measured, to cover the pieces you cut to fit around edges, trees and paths.11 The calculator adds it unless you untick the box.
Can I buy part of a square meter?
The grass comes in whole sheets of half a square meter, so the calculator rounds your lawn up to the next sheet. One sheet is 8 baht.
Will the price change?
My land is measured in rai. How do I convert it?
One rai is 1,600 square meters, one ngan is 400 and one square wah is 4.15 The calculator does the sum: choose "Rai, ngan, wah" and type the figures from your deed. Remember to take off the house, the driveway and anything else that will not be lawn.
Tell us the area and the address.
We come back with the grass and the delivery added up as one total, so you know the whole cost before you say yes.
