  1. If Palestinians stopped the bombing/stabbings/rockets and other terrorism, they would not have these problems. They are there own worst enemies.

    Here is the irony Uly,which Arab loving Co just incapable of understanding.

    These arabs live off Israel, unemployed and still get $600 per month,, they attack any jews going into "their " streets but then whine about streets being neglected.

    On top of getting FREE money from Israel, they attack and kill jews and now whine about possibly having their status revoked.

    Life is so bad, with FREE $600 per month, that NOT only they do not want move to their motherland but go anywhere near.

    They really have a tough life in Israel

    Got to love the irony.coffee1.gif

    The real irony is of course that your whole post is just right wing propaganda. Another irony is that Israel is living off benefits of the USA and Europe. If I recall correctly, only the US hands out 130Billion USD/year.

    The unemployment rate of Arabs living in Israel is 7.5% of the total Arab work force, which is a bit different from your unfounded and plainly stupid remark that "these Arabs live off Israel".

    Unemployment benefit are given to any person who used to work in Israel, not just handed out at random (as you make it look like). I know that the likes of you dont even agree with that, "why give anything to an Arab, right?" but even the fascist of the Likud party cannot push through this kind of apartheid, although I am sure they would like to.

    What you are probably referring to when you mention the 600USD/month is the aid Palestinians receive from "The World" without Israel; USA and EU again the biggest sponsors (but only a fraction of what is wasted on Israel unfortunately). The reason they get aid is because they are deprived of the freedom to work on the land they have owned for hundreds of years. 75% of the West bank is confiscated by Israel. Palestinians have no access to water or electricity, although in the illegal settlements there is plenty. And Gaza is just a ghetto created by Israel, which is surrounded by walls, to make the IDF target practice a bit more easy.

    When you say "they really have a tough life in Israel" I would say they have about as tough a life as the Jews had in Nazi Germany (West Bank) or the Warsaw Ghetto (Gaza). But I am sure that that irony doesn't concern you one bit, because my guess is that for you it has more to do with the "danger of Muslims" than about Israel/Palestinians......

    Putting aside utter drivel, you do seem to struggle to read the OP,

    It is the words of your beloved Arab who stated he gets $600 per month.

    From the rest of the world, they get much more than that and still squander it all.

    But for Arabs the actual reality is as useful s giving fridge to an Eskimo

  3. Temples use PA system? or you referring to Mosques?

    Naturally i would not know much as oppose to a expert like yourself, but i live near Temple and work near another Temple and yet to hear any sound or noise coming from either of them.

    Perhaps you live and work near those two temples for the deaf I read about? Or maybe yours are Trappist temples?

    Other temples do indeed seem to make a great deal of noise on occasions. Most of them start just about the time that the illegal all-night karaoke bars are closing.

    Please tell me times when Watchai uses PA system?

    Also tell me times when Wat Taam uses PA System?

  4. Where are you renting? if you'd like to mention. And is it a home?

    Golden rule,

    Don't live within 2 kls of commercial areas, AND, large popular temples.

    Good Luck

    2 km? As I do?

    Please do not underestimate temples and their PA systems.

    But no doubt you know morethumbsup.gif

    Amazing answer.

    Have you ever been to Thailand?

    Where is Thailand? do they speak Thai there?

  5. OP - have you given 1111 a call? I'm interested to see if they can help or not.

    blackcab, these guys are dreamers ..... call 1111 and get all your troubles solved mr farang !!

    also, the OP is adamant that the landlord should have told him about the noise.

    he's gotta be joking !! I can't believe some farangs thinking ....... completely illogical , this is thailand ....

    not downtown London ......... whistling.gif

    I wish he OP good luck , but I won't hold my breath.

    Bahahaha, sounds to me like it's about time for you to leave Thailand. You have nothing good to say about the country, why stay?

    I also think it's funny you keep using the term farang as if you're not one yourself. Another guy thinking he's apart of the Thai culture until his bargirlfriend finishes emptying his bank.

    Do not let trolls get to you, they offer little to no help or useful advise ever.

    He along with a few others, just like to talk out of their backside to wind up people, because in their sad little existence there is not much else to do, despite them claiming to be someone.

    PS, I would not just walk away and "cut my losses" the ones saying that never had any money to start with.

    First explore all the available options, including 1111. Just keep in mind it may take a few calls to achieve things, because with usual Thai attitude, club will stop and start again, or will try it on again to see if they can.

    Having a Thai call would be "helpful" not only because of language but also to claim he/she cannot rest and must work every day.

    In my case, when i called, i told them i could not rest and had to work, provided my WP number, then got a GF to say the exact thing, they she could not sleep but had to work and club was gone within a week,

    I will pm you in a minute with some other useful infothumbsup.gif

  7. Club is operating past legal hours and noise must stop at midnight unless it's an entertainment zone.

    Owner may not even be aware.

    Yes you can report the club and actions will be taken.

    Call 1111 with full name and address, they do speak English but would be better to have a Thai person also in case of any misunderstanding

    LOL

    and depending on who the owner of the club is and his connections to the local police, you should also factor in the slight chance that this could have a negative effect on your property or your health or your status.

    Again urban myth. I taken on Mityon in Pattaya and the only effect after the fact is I get 10% discount each time I buy a bike.

    Hardly a negative

  8. " ... and I know the whole neighborhood would be on aboard." You might think so, but if the whole neighborhood felt the same way, why has no one else reported the problem. I'm sure there are MANY who are closer to the nightclub than you, and it would seem logical that the noise is much louder for them.

    For one you do not know what others did and may well have complained.

    Many Thai simply do not know where to complain or what to do.

    Calling city hall is useless , because city hall sends out a car to check it out , who ever comes out gets a " gift" and all forgotten.

    Once orders come from Bangkok , 1111 matter gets taken very serious and either club gets shut down or music volume turned down

    1111 is a joke. I had with a similar situation where karaoke and beer bars would sprout up in the area and stay open all night with their drunken howling sometimes until 0700 or later. Problem was, the place was owned by a Pattaya cop. No matter who you talked to at City Hall, or 1111 with my farang and Thai neighbors all calling.,nothing was ever done. I finally moved to a quiet fully developed area with no bars or clubs within a mile. Lovely quiet. Cost me a lot of money and sleepless nights but it was worth it. It's a loser any way you slice it. You can give "gifts" to a BIB and you may get a temporary reprieve, but like a cancer, it always comes back. It's all down to who has the most money and influence. We, as visitors here in LOS have negligible influence unless you are married to the sister or daughter of a powerful political figure, forget about it. My Thai wife was never bothered by all the racket and the bass that made our bedroom wall act like a drumhead., so don't expect your Thai neighbors to give a damn about your situation. Take the hit and find a quiet spot without bars or karaoke anywhere near you. My 2c

    Not every club is owned by a cop and not every cop is high ranking enough .

    Basic common sense.

    Your choice to be a victim because of you a foreigner is only your choice , do not presume all foreigners feel same way and treated same way.

    As I said o Jane closed down clubs , parties and taken on big companies through 1111 and Soi kor bor( pardon the spelling )

    And all were dealt with to my satisfaction . May be not ideal but good enough to satisfy me.

    And no, not all Thai take it rolling over. Many educated one take actions

  9. I had this exact same problem recently. I signed a lease at a resort, owner said if I wanted to depart before the agreed time I would not get my deposit (10,000Bt) returned. I had trouble sleeping every night due to the boom-boom-boom of a bar/club in the area. I knew there was nothing I could do to stop the noise, so I wanted out, but I also knew the resort owner would not return my deposit. So what to do?

    The owner had a dog that wandered around the grounds. So one day when nobody was around I threw a srone at the dog and made the animal angry, then everytime I walked out the resort the owner's dog would run and bark at me. I complained to the owner about his dog attacking me. Then a couple days later in full view of several people as the dog ran barking at me I faked it and collapsed to the ground clutching my heart.

    The owner and his wife freaked out, when I recoved I told them I had a weak heart and their dog keeps attacking me. I kept saying your dog will give me a heart attack, I can't stay here anymore.

    So the owner and his wife are scared, they want me out, they don't want to be held responsible for hospital expenses and having police and Pattaya One News at their resort. So we agreed to cancel the lease and a couple days later I got my full deposit (minus elect/water consumption) returned and I departed.

    that's a good story .... made my day. thumbsup.gif

    remind me to give you a call if I have any issues in my village ....

    Your village ? Not too long ago you claimed to be staying only at Marriott in Bangkok .

    Must be hard to keep up with all the troll lies ;)

  10. Club is operating past legal hours and noise must stop at midnight unless it's an entertainment zone.

    'Yes you can report the club and actions will be taken.'

    you really believe this ? come on man .... surely you've been in Thailand long enough to know nothing happens as it should.

    If you believe they will close the night club down because farang can't get his or her beauty sleep then I think your sadly mistaken ..... it ain't gonna happen in a million years .... cheesy.gif

    Yes I do believe that and unlike your usual trolling I have done it and much more than that

  11. " ... and I know the whole neighborhood would be on aboard." You might think so, but if the whole neighborhood felt the same way, why has no one else reported the problem.

  12. Why is it Pattaya gets all the quality tourists !! whistling.gif

    When you cater to people who need to pay for sex, you get a lot of tourist who need to pay for sex.

    Maybe that is why???

    Or may be because people with money go to fun places, instead of farms in the middle of the jungle

    You mean sexpats and sexpests?

    Of course not. Only pensioners with well educated girls 1/3 the age and half the weight

  13. FOR YOUR EDIFICATION ALL:

    I've ordered vitamins many times for the 10 years I've lived in the Chiang Mai area, usually from Puritan Pride in the states. The first ones were very large, $600 or more, no problems, sometimes a customs fee. About a year ago, though, customs seized a $900 order and accused me of dealing. They were going to confiscate the whole thing, but my Thai wife managed to talk them into taking only 1/3. 1-2 orders since, smaller of course, no problems. Avoid large boxes.

    But this month I needed some selenium / vitamin E / vitamin C for prostate and sinus troubles. I can't maintain good health without quite a few vitamins and minerals at my age, 67. Well, Puritan and others I see no longer ship to Thailand as of about a few months ago because my last order was about January. I don't know why, but can guess. So, I ordered from Swanson, as good or better a bargain and also same shipping route from the states to Germany then to Thailand via DHL. Well, dang, only a small order, about $120, but they have it stuck in customs again at the airport. So, Monday will take my passport, passport copy, copy of order, and my stepson to help explain it for me.

    I'll let you all know how this turns out.

    To make it easier for yourself, as you clearly did not understand what customs told me is that its NOT about how much but the size of the parcel

    So instead of 10 items, order only 4-5 and again DO NOT use couriers or any kind, it is guaranteed to be stopped,

    Look at your order, you have 16 bottles, they consider it a commercial quantity.

    Understand saving on shipping costs, but what can do you?!

    PS. Puritan has Thai site http://www.puritanpridestore.com/

    Also see this site http://www.winkystar.com/

    Yes, Puritans has a Thai site, but it's all in Thai which I can't read and the prices are not that attractive. As I mentioned, I've made orders much larger than this 1-3 times a year for ten years from Puritans and no problems. Meanwhile, Puritan no longer ships to Thailand by mail order. Yes, when I got there, FDA banned the shipment as medicine, which it is not, none of the items are on the restricted list, but the selenium seemed to be what they didn't like. So, certainly times are changing and this why Puritan does not ship anymore to Thailand. Yes, I can make smaller orders, but this wasn't large, $127 and a 3.3kg box about 10 inches square, and I'd have to order once a month to keep up. Remember, these are for my wife as well, and I need sizeable amounts for optimum health. One thing that seemed to be a problem with Puritan as well is that the 4 bottles of selenium were broken down into 8 bottles of half the number of caps. Anything over 4 bottles they don't seem to like, so if I'm going to risk it again, I'll make a phone order and try to ensure that the size bottles ordered are the same as shipped. Two other fellas were in there with larger boxes and passed, one with a single jar of glucosamine of about 1kg. This is for the benefit of others, I don't need any advice, but thanks. I might add that one of these ingredients instantly cured a tinea infection that I suffered with for 46 years, but that's a bit off topic.

    I do not need explanation or justification , I told you what I was told by customs and have not had a problem since.

    If you want to risk it, it's up to you. As long as you realise one day they may get nasty and take more action providing you already on their system.

    You still failing to understand it's not the value of money declared but number of items. You have 16 bottles , it is commercial quantity.

    Import of vitamins is on restricted list in Thailand . It makes no difference what you think, it is what customs think that matters.

    As I said , you can keep doing what you do or you can smarten up and avoid further hassles at slightly higher prices

    and the more scumbags that turn up with putrid sperm leaking out of their bodies; the worse these places get...

    Thus... The city sized petri dish that is Pattaya!

    So you can not afford a trip yet then?whistling.gif

  15. so they stopped 9000 quality tourists entering Pattaya .........

    Why this unfair bashing against Pattaya again?

    The original article says that "The nationwide operation // rounded up 9,265 foreigners"

    Certainly very few of them arrested in Pattaya

    They also say most are from Laos and Cambodia

    So certainly very few tourists among them

    One way to feel self righteous while being married or living with an ex Pattaya finestgiggle.gif
