Plasticine? Kids dept on Lazada? It won't be named as plasticine, probably more like 'modelling clay's etc.

So why not take holidays for some months? Or take a course in professional writing? ????
Point taken, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater just yet. Rooster's weekly dose is the nearest this site will get to contemporary, relevant, political and social commentary. At times he gets perilously close to the truth - behaviour which always carries significant risk in Thailand.

An alternative which may not have been mentioned yet (I haven't looked past the OP and first few replies), is what I term a 'bunker' - in fact simply a sunken room either below your existing house or adjacent to it. This isn't as bizarre as it sounds and is quite easy and inexpensive to achieve. It solves a number of problems with 'neighbour's' noise, as these problems won't go away - they'll simply be replaced by other idiots - sorry I meant to say factors. Below ground solves the main problem of karaoke: i.e. bass notes - and of course the treble notes and ghastly drunken caterwauling, not to mention the unbelievably boring 'sameness' of the music itself. No amount of soundproofing above ground will completely fix this. The underground room/s can be made just as comfortable, practical and safe as any above ground construction. So, no need to move - just take advantage of the lax building regulations and non existent zoning laws causing your current grief and make them work for you. If you're still building, it's easy and interesting to incorporate a 'cellar' - if anyone asks - into your plans. It will also make a completely soundproof area if you ever want to have loud music of your own - doing what most locals very rarely ever do: consider other people for a few nanoseconds. And, no - it's not a dungeon, unless you have need of one!

Now then, where did I put it? Haven't had to use it on Asean Now. Ah yes - here it is, a bit dusty but never mind:

"...in Nana one minute, jetting off to Dubai and Manila the next."
Did a bit of that myself, when it was still fun.

Sir Tom was born a Keighley lad like myself and his family were builders (his father I believe) it was rather fitting that they had the honour of building the cenotaph after WW1 in the centre of Keighley. It depicts a sailor with a telescope and a soldier carrying a rifle with a bayonet, the bayonet had to be removed in case it injured yobs climbing on it, for remembrance day it is substituted with a wooden one. On its opening over half the population of Keighley turned out for the occasion, about 25,000.
RIP Sir Tom.
Looking at that air pollution it's a wonder anyone survived childhood...never mind a century.

Filipina Tourist Criticises English Proficiency in Thailand
in Thailand News - Discussion
I wonder how much money Crispy Froid's parents spent on her education in the U.K., with a little French too, if her name is any indication. Certainly more than a Grab driver's income. The accent is pure Essex grandma.
