  1. Posting an update, since I've contacted Muscle Meals CNX. They don't cover my area either, but told me that one of their clients who used to live here had the meals handed over to a Grab driver. The total cost would be 300 bath per week (3 deliveries per week). Haven't decided yet, but seems like a good compromise.
  2. Not a bad recommendation. I probably won't go as far as to buy a refrigerator, but I used to cook food in 1-week batches a long time ago here and it took about 2-3 hours once per week. Was mostly chicken breasts, brown rice, tuna, that sort of thing. If I don't find any other solution I'll go back to that. I'll still keep looking around.
  3. Let's see how that plays out. I'm not bothered by neighbors' noise, and use headphones most of the day. The problems are mostly related to privacy, and of course freedom to do what I want without having to worry about bothering a neighbor for taking a late call or typing too loud.
  4. I thought that me making a whole post about looking for a soundproof condo in the past days would be enough cover? ???? Anyway, jokes aside, serious recommendations please? I'm looking for some options.
  5. I'm looking for a subscription meal delivery service as an alternative to Healthy Food By Mint that covers the San Pa Pao sub district, specifically Thanaporn Park Home5. I've been using them for a couple of months in my current location. Not a single problem, but unfortunately they do not cover that area. Just to be clear: I already use Foodpanda / Grab / Tuk, but I'm looking for something that would get me covered from Monday to Friday, set and forget. Not looking for in-house cook. At least, as a last resort I would be open to get someone to shop for ingredients, cook meals and freeze for 1-2 weeks, but seems a bit of a hassle so I'd like to avoid it. I've seen Muscle Meals CNX, but haven't contacted them yet. Anyone tried them? In general, the healthier the food, the better (Chicken breast, vegetables, etc.). I don't have any particular needs honestly, just trying to eat less like an animal ????.
  6. Thought I'd post an update. Of all the proposed solutions, I chose to rent a detached house and will move out soon. It will be a PITA, but hopefully worth it. What comes next is mostly me complaining about construction ????. The situation has become unacceptable. I've received a lot of recommendations regarding how to deal with neighbor noise, but again, just in case it wasn't clear, this is not about noisy neighbors, but very normal daily routine sounds. To give you an example, typing at the computer or even the click of a mouse is something that can be heard between the units. I rely a lot on the computer, and lately I can't even do that past 19PM. In my book, that's not my fault or the neighbors, but of whoever built the condo like this to turn a cheap profit. It's sad, because a very good condo, with well-maintained facilities, perfect location, reasonably priced, it's completely ruined by this huge problem. At least in my case, knowing this, I would never invest in a condo in the future and certainly stick to a house. Thanks for all the recommendations!
  7. That's great. Thanks for the recommendation. I lived in an older condo before, but I think I'll go for a house and be done with it. Regarding the convenience store, I know what you mean. They actually opened a 7 eleven right in front of the condos last year, it was a blessing! Nonetheless, I usually use grab/foodpanda for deliveries and everything always arrive in 20-25m.
  8. This is actually a very good recommendation, thank you! And the investment is even more contained that some condos that wouldn't solve the problem at all. I think I'll give it a thought. Regarding tiling a wall, I thought about it, but it's probably not the best place to do so. I wouldn't mind having an entire room tiled in a house, but for a corner office in a Condo it seems too much. Also investigated other options (Mobile soundproof curtains, indoor boxes for meetings, etc.), but they looked like too much trouble too in comparison to just renting a house.
  9. The fact that I kind of lucked out in the unit location (Last floor, almost end of corridor, next to emergency stairways, empty front and adjacent units for years) is one of the main reasons I'm hesitant to moving out right away. Might just as well wait till the end of the contract and see how everything turns out. I'm not that bothered by neighbors noise, the problem is that even normal routine movements can be heard. I also do use the PC till very late (Not doing so lately just for consideration). I don't mind renting a house as a last resort honestly, it's just a hassle. And I will probably need to soundproof a room anyway for my needs in that case (Gaming room).
  10. Greetings, I'm looking for a decent soundproof condo in Chiang Mai. I've been living in a unit in one of those DCondo near Central Festival for a long time. Honestly, never had a problem for years. Recently, the condo next door was rented and, wow, just now I realize how bad constructions are here. It's barely possible to make a sound, especially at night. I can hear the neighbors walk around, going to the bathroom, well, you get the picture. It's not a situation where I want or could complain. They are not noisy, I'm talking about normal daily routine. Since I've always been a night owl myself (but also considerate) I find this situation extremely uncomfortable. My last resort will be to rent a house at the end of my contract, but I'd like to avoid extremes. I'd prefer to live in a condo with amenities and well-maintained (pool, gym, security, parking, pest control, good condition, etc.) but it also needs to be soundproof (Or whatever it's called). I don't need to know what everyone else is doing all the time. Any suggestions?
