    Absolute nightmare......renting is the only answer.......unless you have the money to buy a small estate plus razor wire and Dobermans

    that may be the next option for me mate. 

     

    an acre of land in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a 15ft concrete wall, razor wire, shards of glass, search light, cameras etc. 

     

    It seems to be the only way I will ever be truly happy here.

    If an estate then thee are rules and legally in Thailand there is a cut off time and a start up time. I think 11 pm and 8 am. Currently there are also outside restrictions after a certain time because of the emergency decree still in effect until July 31. Estates also have security guards and there should be a nominated person who is the Moo bahn rep. 

     

    I do but they hear my mouth and don't like hearing it after they reach the witching hour. I understand having an every so so often, but not more than once in 1 or 2 months tops.

    I'm most intrigued by the pool party/porn shoot.

     

    4:30am and in the pool with tripod and backlight??

     

    the hell is that all about? ???? 

    It's far from normal behavior I  know that much!

    Nocturnal Neighbors.

    it seems that wherever I move in Thailand there is always an issue with a nocturnal neighbor.

     

    By this I mean a neighbor who doesn't sleep at a reasonable hour, is usually still sat on his porch smoking and on the phone at 3am, or arrives home on his scooter with one of those dreadfully loud exhausts fitted on the back at quarter to 4.

     

    last night was no exception.

     

    In my vicinity there are two houses that I consider to be nocturnal. 

    One house is a young family with I think a brother living with them.

    They are all heavily tattooed and smoke like chimneys. 

    They constantly have cars pulling up to their house day and night. Yesterday I saw 7 people get out of a tiny Nissan.

    They seem to arise at noon and dont sleep till 4/5am.

     

    the other house is a big family, two houses together i think and regularly sit outside until the sun comes up laughing and joking and splashing about in the pool.

    The other day I woke up early (04:20) and caught a glimpse of them by the pool, they seemed to have a camera and lighting setup and were filming. 

    What is going on????

     

    None of these people ever seem to work.

    We live on a very nice estate and our houses certainly weren't cheap.

    I always think to myself 'how do these people afford to live where they do?'

     

    Anyone else ever had experiences with nocturnal neighbors?

    And I am always amazed how many employers let them get away with that.

    I see more and more so called security guards who mostly play with their phones. What's the point of a guard who doesn't pay attention at least most of the time? And it seems many get away with that attitude.

    don't get me started on security guards here mate!

     what a complete and utter waste of money.

     

    Useless for them is most definitely an understatement.

    but the average Thai feels 'safe' with them around so I don't see them going anywhere soon.

    Considering the unemployment rate they seem  to  have a lot to learn  about   actually  getting a  job thats if they really want one.

    Most Thai's don't want a real job per se.

     

    They want to be paid whilst playing Facebook and TikTok for 10 hour a day.

    Vietnam Visa update - big changes

    in Vietnam Visa and Immigration

    Posted · Edited by WineOh

    I worked in VN on a few different projects a while back.

    The visa situation is a complete nightmare.

    Business visa and work permit are nigh on impossible to get.

    Hanoi, although I do like it, is full of young gap year teachers from the states who survive on 15 day border runs to remain in lawful status.

     

    VN's visa system makes Thailand's look like Disneyland in comparison. 

     

    Vietnam is a beautiful country to visit.

    Living there permanently would be a totally different story.
