    Very Noisy Market Next To Condo - Till Midnight

    in General Topics

    Posted

    i live in said condo and you can just be happy that you are on the side of the market that will not stay forever.

    I am on the other side and we have a bunch of tuktuks who party all night every 2days in said parking lot. Also 7/11's light is so strong, no curtain can stop it. one of the biggest reason i am getting the f out of this dirty soi

    Thank you all for your input, again the said parking lot is normally empty or with markets selling shoes or things like that, never that noisy (has never been noisy at night). It is probably just one vendor who decided to go overboard this time and get a quick buck with a "so-called" show that isn't one.

    I was not aware of what was happening on the other side of the building.... crazy.... I feel sorry for you Gvallee2...

    It seems that we will have to live with it until Sunday(they are supposed to leave on Sunday).

    Again if anyone has any idea whether any law dealing with noisy neighbors exists in Thailand, that would help me understand.

    Very Noisy Market Next To Condo - Till Midnight

    Hi All,

    I've been in Thailand for 10 years now and have finally decided to buy a condo on Sukhumvit. The condo is about 100 m into a small soi and next to a parking lot.

    The last 9 months have been wonderful and calm. Unfortunately about 7 days ago a market has set up its ground next to the low-rise building.

    In itself, markets are generally fun and wouldn't bother me at all but they decided to set up a stage (pretty much what you would see for a small concert) with large loudspeakers, approximately 10 meters from the building.

    Every night they play loud music, very loud bass, karaoke style, and this until midnight ... every night.

    The building has already sent a letter to the police and I have at least called them 10 times. I do speak decent Thai and I was always told that it would take "up to 7 days" for the case to be "investigated."

    Well, it's been more than 7 days and still nothing. I've seen the police come 2-3 times but they just lowered the sound for 30 minutes until the BIB left and it was as if they hadn't come.

    I was wondering what kind of laws in Thailand deal with noise? I know for a fact that karaoke bars are allowed to open till midnight but get fined if later than that but the "concert stage" I am talking about is "outside" next to our condo, couldn't be louder.

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Ken
