Same for me, all I can hear is a few birds tweeting, and the fan spinning.
The soi I live in is quite good, local Thais and falangs all respect each other, the worst noise though is when the wife gets chatting with family or friends, the decibel level goes through the roof.
I am in NZ at present with mother in law here and sister in law, can't hear a dam thing when they get yapping ,turn on there phones and watch internet Thai soap.
They are noisy people .
The noisy bikes pee me off and the pickups driving around with loud speakers, I do not see change.
They are not the only noisy Asian race there are much noisier .
The compensation is they laugh a lot.

Nothing like a good laugh to start the week. The only care tourist service providers will take is to see how deep they can dig into their pockets and purses and how little value they can provide for the money spent. Water and road safety are not included in ticket prices.
As a ex tour driver in NZ I can tell you, the value they provide goes directly to GO, the tours are controlled by the tour guide who is paid a commission, and also lies to them about free venues and pockets entry money.
All the restaurants they eat at are pre selected b4 they arrive, the shopping venues are also selected for them.
The tour guides tell them that they can take them to warehouses where they can buy direct and cheaper.
I had to drive detours to avoid them seeing tourist shops, one tour I did 2 of the people went for a evening walk after a day out and factory shopping, only to discover a tourist shop where the pure alpaca wool mattress underlay they had just paid nearly a thousand dollars for was on sale for $400.
They nearly lynched the tour guide the next morning.
The Chinese tours do not help Thailand, they only help the Chinese business people in Thailand.
They create havoc in restaurant's and venues by dropping butts and leaving a mess behind them.
They create havoc at the airports, it is the same wherever they arrive, big lines with flags and loud yelling.
They are rude and will walk over the top of people.
LOS is dreaming if they think this will ever change or benefit Thailand as a country.

Just horrendous all round. It is good that the killers for hire are in and won't get bail. But once that dirtbag of a brother in law is hauled in I hope bail won't ever be an option.
It would be interesting to discover what kind of motive was behind this. Surely more than just money when one's own kin are getting killed
I will take a stab at it, Motive, Possible, brother was a gambler and drank a lot of gut rot.
He needed to pay a debt but was knocked back this time, his sister was sick of him and his ways and scalded him many times.
Because he could not pay the debt and he lost face he took matters into his own hands.
Only a theory, but plausible.

Didn't we used to see seized drugs hauls being burnt? Where might this 100kg have come from, if it is all supposed to be disposed of?
Perhaps 'disposed of' is a better way to emphasise it.
I certainly hope none of this refined hash oil goes astray.

63 and cant handle being scolded utter madness !
didn't want any money, thats good cause he cant spend over the next 20 years in prison
oh while we are here now about this brother
now how much did the rest of the family know?
Just when you think you are safe in LOS, a stupid face saving crime takes you out.
Utter brain dead crime.'
Probably sold the pick up to pay for his gambling debt, may have been knocked back by sister to pay his debt.
One dear friend of ours brother stole the Deed to his dyeing mothers farm and sold half of it through a crooked lawyer to pay his card gambling debt.
When confronted by his sister he nearly beat her to death.
I think there is a possibility here that this nutter had a few financial problems and his sister was sick of him.

"Police said that they checked the man’s smartphone and found all the previous calls had been erased."...
Well that's a bit suspicious.
very suspicious area is Hat Yai, very shady dealings going on in night clubs full of Malaysian Chinese.
A drug town if ever there was one.

Maybe the girl sucked him dry of money and he spent it all , he felt only solution was to kill himself.
Only speculations of course.
Anyway , anyone who are mentally unstable and suicidal should seek professional help , unfortunately Thailand does not offer much help for foreigners.
RIP
Sadly I had a friend who did this in his bedroom, terrible loss of a great friend, apparently he had run out of funds after quite a long time in LOS and the GF kept on borrowing, even after he passed away his assets had disappeared mysteriously.

Sad but as long as they don't accept vehicles on the ferry... it won't work out for them.
Probably dead right, also the fare is quite high, maybe putting on a low season special might fill the boat up. better to have a full ferry of paying customers then only a handful at a high fare.

That was fast. No flies on old Plod now, is there? ?
Was it the kiss on the forehead that made it a clear cut case.
The kiss of life or the kiss of death?

Pull yer neck in Rambo., but
Your neck is stuck out of proportion.
dogs are a big problem, they bite and spread rabies, the hospitals have on-going people queuing up for soi dig bite rabies injections.
The mangy unkempt dogs scratch and whine in misery, sleep in the path of cars, cause nuisance to pedestrians , spread disease, they are not looked after , they are worshiped as returned soles.
This is a tragic death of innocence, what more will it take to reform this? Ans: about as much chance as Donald Trump finding a Russian spy.
Very sad, heart goes out to the ones that suffer from this on-going madness.

Consolation for the Kiwi, is that the shirt will fit him when he is eventually released from incarceration !
Face looks familiar, to a hobo guy that hung around Auckland.
A bit old to be running drugs, especially to NZ which is full of Methamphetamine, controlled by gangs and Chinese mafia.

That's the price you pay for having a tattoo written in a language you can't read. ?
Bad English translation spelling to Thai. Chan chob hoi, is better, hoi also is used for oyster or shell fish.

This stupid jealous behaviour causes lots of death.
Fuelled by the stupid non compus mentis brain dead soap industry, and even worse the behaviour seems to be accepted as normal.

pretty low stealing her ATM card, anyone know what the drugs charges were?
8 years doesn't seem a lot, people get more for carrying a gram of hash..
Very stupid small minded man, he should of moved on rather than be in an obsessive relationship.
Sentence halved from 16 years, could be because of some influence or information leading to influence.
Either way a stupid way to learn Thai in the BK Hilton.

I have a feeling the injuries were awful enough a cover-up wasn't possible in this case. But there is still the possibility this was ordered and carried out with the knowledge of officers who will not come forward.
could be a mail failure, envelope exposed or sent to wrong address.

so come back and file the complaint as requested by the RTP. it's a must. otherwise it's all hearsay. even scotland yard can't do anything
The Burmese 2 case says it all, wrong DNA wrong perps, the murderers walk free, I believe the girl, why go back and be tormented by a force that lets murderers run a bar and kill at will without fear of prosecution.
Killagains island should be nuked, it will never be cleansed while these mafia families run it.
Any tourists who go there are crazy, just drug crazed fools go there, and children.

Don't know if tracked and signed with a list of contents pasted on the outside would help.
My friend sent lots of chocolate to his school teacher wife who used to give it to the school kids.
last lot he sent got checked by customs and they demanded huge duty for it as they said it was a luxury item.
About $30 per bar duty they wanted, his wife told them it was for the school kids, but they would not budge, so she told them to enjoy.

This fat "wallop" seriously believes he is something special ?
Making demands about how he is apprehended.
Hopefully, he resists arrest, and gets seriously hurt in the process.
If he did re enactment then that's auto confess.
If was granted bail under the conditions he demands then he would , at a guess be a prime candidate to jump to Saudi.
He should be arrested with no bail, his poli mate should be perhaps looked at as well.

Appears that he was killed and then thrown into the sea off a boat.
probably died of fright before thrown, so it is probably suicide.

Sounds like more than just tattoo needles involved
Yes, dyeing from aids takes a long time, over one year for the first symptoms to show up sometimes.
Having a blood test after a casual is a waste of money, Dr's say at least 3 months for any anti body to show in blood.
More likely these 4 friends may have had the same boyfriend circle.
I know of a friend of family who is HIV positive and does not care, even has had 2 kids since to a new GF, lucky the kids were not infected.
Does not give a dam, had a big party circle of GF's and his mates, so be aware in LOS you are not safe, you are playing Russian Roulette, use the old rubber sleeve boys!!

Well here's an interesting situation. The Thai police don't believe the girls story. However, No one at all, believes the Thai Police. And given everyone expected them to say they didn't believe the girls story, in fact were saying it before they even checked it, we are back to square one.
The tide was to high, that's it! case over, prosecute the fake news mob, put them in chains!!!
Meantime do not look at the girls DNA evidence or any other evidence, if you do, you will be forced to find the Burmese perpetrator of this alleged crime.

British Embassy Bangkok to Stop Certification of Income Letters
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
I always use a non immigrant O, less hassle 12 month visa can be issued overseas at Thai embassies , but you have to do a border run every three months, I never had to show funds for this when applied for in NZ and just showed my child's passport and marriages to Thai cert.
The outcome of this is going to result in more corruption at immigration, last time I went to see them a person spoke to my wife and told her I should get a retirement visa and only speak to her if I wanted one and a fee of 17k was touted.
I have funds don't need the help, but many I know struggle sometimes and the witch who died a few years ago will be back in business.
I do not know why this government is so bent on making things so difficult for genuine expats, LOS is not the same as it used to be, going down hill fast and many people going to other places now to retire.
Soon it will just be Chinese tourists stampeding through the towns and dumping butts on the beaches.
Chiang Mai is just packed with them now and not nice, I lived there two years but would not now.
