The link said exactly the opposite of what you said.  Regarding trade in value, I lost 10% on my EV after two years, pretty good I think

I bought a Toyota Vigo off a  friend for 420k baht just 1  year after he bought it from new as he said it was too big for BKK and he'd only done 3k kilometres, I sold it 10 years later for 400K and 260k  kilometres  within 2  days of  telling a  friend of  mine (Thai)

Please do so and see the consequences. You're not a Thai; in fact, you're nobody. You are a refuge in your own society and cannot get a decent living in your own country. You had to travel 10,000 miles to live in a foreign land at their mercy. Most probably also using a "wify" visa. 

Thaqts quite a superiority complex  youve grown there...well done

I would suggest you record the sounds your new neighbor is making at those hours, then take the recording to condo management. Condos have rules about unnecessary and untimely noise.

With the old neighbor, I would have recorded the sounds of their coitus, then played them back at maximum volume.

The problem isnt the negihbour its the crappy aac block walls, wouldnt say they were overly  noisy its  just you can hear everything though the wall

Hope you got a below market price for that hellhole of a unit.

How much space did you loose building out that cinderblock wall?

Huh, it isnt a hell  hole of a unit it does have wafer thin walls but only one neighbour as Im on the top  floor  corner  unit.  Yes i got a  good  price , 12  years  ago a 25% discount off the normal price at thats time . They sell for 3.6  million now the building is  well maintained and was painted externally/internally 18  months  ago.

I paid 1.9m, its 47m2, cinderblocks are 75mm thick and behind that there is  another 50mm air  gap filled with fibreglass, if you look you can see one of the building  support  columns which Ive built out to. That bedroom is quite large already, you wont miss 125mm of space.

Close to tesco On Nut. 180m to bts

How did you insulate the windows?  triple glazed?  (YES I have a noisy neighbour problem too). Where did you buy the noise insulation for your double walls?  (thanks in advance)

I didnt trtiple  glaze the window I over boarded it with 12mm plasterboard and polystyrene foam insulation behind it. The other isnulation is the stuff  used in roof  spaces available at homepro thai watsadu global house etc in rolls this is 75mm thick size

Walked back up the local Soi in Bangkok an hour ago. A number of quite new replacement houses (no shortage of cash rather evident). Lovely floor to ceiling windows, none of them double glazed. Think of the noise reduction and lower cooling costs that that could be enjoyed by double glazing. The Thais just don't get it. A small extra amount upfront will lead to better enjoyment and lower costs for the life of the property. A friend built an A-Frame raised cabin in a southern province a few years ago, he stipulated high ceilings and cavity walls with insulation and a long overhang roof - locals and builder thought he was nuts spending the extra money. Result? No need for air conditioning. Maybe one-day...

 

Ive  just moved into a  new  condo ( well built 2012) on Sukhumvit  road, Phrakanong, High floor  19 but the bedroom sliding balcony window may as  well be absent for all the good it does.

Ive alreay ordered a new frame  8 foot  tall by 12 foot  wide with double  glazed units and one casement opening internally door as the sliding thing thats there now is  useless, you can put your hand thru where the doors  overlap each other.

The old room Im doing up to rent out, Thats the noisier one in the OP, should be quiet enough when Im done and it doesnt cost much to do as I do it all myself, blocks are cheap 6 baht.

Iran savior of us  all...........meanwhile those nice chaps at Hamas who can do no wrong

Grow a pair of wazza  jugs, get your lips  puffed  out by letting wasps sting them, remove eybrows and felt  tip pen some new ones on  and voila...Instant money in the bank guaranteed, worked for that other old  dog a few  weeks  back from Sweden even though she was whoring herself off on Fans  Only previously.

"bury it  deeper, use hdpe pipe with no joints in, 1 metre deep, also useful for burying lazy workers. 9 years  ago no problems"

 

Why can't you bury them any more if it was ok 9 yrs ago?

 

 

it creates a  labour  shortage  apparently
