Should I come to your home and switch on your TV? Or maybe read to you from the news?

You should try it yourself sometime, it's interesting to learn about the world out there. 

You can talk only BULL<deleted> without any evidence. Same the most keyboard warriors who needed attention.
It is just the wishy washy what YOU tell. No evidence!!! Just BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, ....

Sorry, but does that somehow make it the right thing to do?

Absolutely, if you are innocent!!! Only stupid people don't run away!!! When you are incarcerated, it is much more difficult to find and present evidence of your innocence. Besides, otherwise she would have been in prison for the last 10 years INNOCENT!!!

Here are their promotions, Thai only!!!

Maybe I missed something, but the above attachment appears to be a very generalized overview review of the scope of police duties without any specific reference to noise complaints, etc.

 

Edit: Regarding the second attachment you posted labeled "noise pollution announce", these standards apply to commercial operations, and it's not clear if the same standard would be applicable to residential households. @snowgard

The noise pollution problem is for residential households the same. Sure if someone make once or twice a party every year it not should be a problem but not almost every day or every weekend. 
The point is if your neighbour is so loud that you can't listen your TV with open windows, you can make a case against him.

Here is another example: "Neighbors" are a nuisance. How to fix it? (baanlaesuan.com)"

If you complain it to the police, they have to do something. If not, it's up to you how you react to it.

Hello, the bill at the 7-11 was 59 THB. I opened my wallet and saw that i only have some 1000-Baht-bills. i showed 1000 THB, asked in Thai, “dai mai khrap?” (can do?) and  the cashier murmured something jolly confirming. 

I received the change of 41 baht. After some fruitless waiting, I said “I still need 900, because I gave you 1,000”. The cashier said “no, you gave me 100”. A tense discussion ensued. At one point someone like perhaps a supervisor counted all the 100 THB bills and the 20 THB bills in the cash register without commenting on it. Stupidly I didn't check if there was any 1,000 THB bill.

My cashier said something about “Thailand Thailand” which I didn't understand. He seemed to insinuate that I confused the 100 and the 1,000 TBH bills because of their slightly similar colors, but I am 1000% sure that I gave him 1,000, and I can distinguish between the two very well. 

Now 4 or 5 staff watched us. Then he opened the cash register again and showed me that there was not a single 1,000 THB bill in it. I hadn't looked for that when they had opened it first for me, but of course my 1,000 THB could have been hidden anywhere, not the least under the stack of 100 THB bills that were there.

Finally I said, “okay up to you”, took my two small things, my 41 THB and left. On the spacious parking lot was my blinking bicycle (7 pm). At least one staff member observed me through the window. I was hoping they would come down, but they didn't and let me leave.

When cycling home I thought, I should have not taken anything - neither the 41 THB change nor the two small things - and should have said instead, “okay, please wait a little, I come back with police”, and see if they follow me to the parking lot. (I would have never contacted police anyway.)

How would you deal such a situation?

Backgrounds: 

It is the 7-Eleven in Samut Songhkram, the one next to the Don Hoi Lot landmark, about 3 km away. I believe that 7-Eleven doesn't get many foreigners. I had shown upon entering the cashiers two photos of anti-mosquito things I had snapped at friends’, and one had helpfully accompanied me to the 2 different shelves where I could find the items. I think I overheard them saying “oh, he speaks Thai” (and they can't know that I understand much less than I speak). They were much more personal with me than, say, a 7-Eleven cashier in Jomtien. 

I believe that I was dressed politely enough (not in sports garb, not in beach garb), but of course seeing me with a bicycle is a minus normally (I think I didn't see more than 3 bicycles total in several days of cycling around the province and locals told me it was silly and dangerous to bicycle; on the same morning a dog had bitten me physically because I bicycled).

Again I know very well that I gave 1,000 in the 7-11, as I am aware that I spent my last 100 THB bills for fish and rice at the Don Hoi Lot market. 

Your take?

 

PS

If you have a comment on getting bitten by a dog that clearly belongs to a rural 1-family-home next to a regular paved road I am interested too.

Why you not called the police and let check the CCTV!!! Easy to see what you give and almost ALL 7-11 have CCTV over the cashiers?

Here's another post on the topic of business noise. When contacting the police, write down the officer's name. And don't just tell them, write a written report. If the police do nothing, report it to the station manager. If that doesn't help, go to provincial headquarters or Bangkok and inform the press that the police are doing nothing.

I just bought a JBL party box to drown out the 7 small dogs, that live a side of my house,  24/7 constant yapping!

I put up with these dogs going  on 3 years , during that time , we( wife)put in  a complaint to the police and the amphur after the owner threatened my life for telling his dogs to shut up!

Six months ago the owner (never disciplines his dogs) got a Chihuahua, which resulted in noise doubling!

I noticed he just added more Chihuahuas several weeks ago!

The music really drowns out the dogs obsessive barking while giving us relief!

My question is whats the legal decibel limit in Thailand! I’ve been playing the jbl party box speaker at 50 % volume from

11am till 9pm for two weeks now with the police coming 2 days ago @8pm asking to turn the volume down!

 

Waiting for Them comments and sincere courteous responses!

Which part of the age of consent in Thailand don't you understand? 

Thailand statutory rape law is violated when an individual has consensual sexual intercourse with a person under age 15. However, sex with a minor under age 18 is a compoundable offense, regardless of consent.

This cheap lockboxes start with prices around 520,- THB.

So it's cheaper and funnier to use a hammer.

Correct, vouchers only work through the app, and I follow the same procedure as you. Can't search on a 7" screen, so use the app only for checkouts

I like it more to search on the notebook, because I can see more and for easy translation. But Lazada & Ali want that we use their apps on the phone.

If it not work, delete the app, download it again from playstore and install it new.

 Maybe this will help.

No, I only use my mobile phone, so I still don't know why I'm missing out on all these "free shipping" offers.

Start the app and go into "Account". There must be a "Voucher Center" or "more Voucher" or something. Click on it and choose the vouchers you want. After click on a vouchers button "Use Now". Than search for the items.

In my case, there's NEVER a deduction at checkout. That's why I made this post, hoping to find an explanation.

 

Do you order on your PC/laptop or mobile phone? On my laptop it don't work too. So I search my items on the laptop, put it into the basket, take my phone, search the free shopping vouchers and order it on the phone app.

Uuuppsss!!!

Will she return all that money from the corrupt rice scam?

Or will she run around free in Thailand in luxury without any punishment?

And don't forget to put her in jail for fleeing the country to avoid jail. 

You are talking NONSENS!!! The Anti Corruption Commission ruled out that she had nothing todo with the corruption in the rice deal.

It's not that difficult. In many countries it's the owners responsibility to identify the driver. If they can't they are responsible for the violation. Perfectly reasonable.

And companies must than use a driver book for EVERY USE!!!
