we used to live on the edge of town, right next to the river, but the backside of our house then faced the barstreet: nightly sounds of fightd, broken bottles, peeing etc, then flooding came about 19 yrs ago and although my house was still standing, we decided to move to MaeHee (AmphurPai)! local style, after 8pm no sounds except from far-far away some dj-sounds... I still can live w that!
the town has changed drastically over the years, so that makes people moving around, not a big deal for me...
