It's amazing to read all these crazy comments.
Luckily, above, some reasonable comments had appeared.
Telling people off because they don't tolerate something unreasonable that even Thais won't tolerate is just plain madness.
Most people have no idea that Thailand isn't just Thailand.
There are 2 Thailands.
One is where people live around their village living a happy life making noise etc.
On the other hand, there is the other Thailand that does not tolerate noise, smoke, nuisance etc.
I'm happy to have been able to meet and speak with so many locals that would open up and talk to me as their confidant. Having the knowledge of Thai language and being around locals on a daily basis are great to learn about this place. Of course, Thais in general try to avoid confrontations, but it doesn't mean they agree with those lunatics.
For example, where I live, there is a Line group for the locals where they can vent their frustration. And yes, noise is NOT tolerated, burning things nonstop is NOT tolerated, dogs running at walkers is NOT tolerated, early morning loud music is NOT tolerated etc.
Seen neighbours discuss issues with each other and they could iron out their issues. Of course, farangs should not get involved unless they are indeed accepted and respected by the local community.
Have a nice day ????
