Foreign Resident Reports Rooster Noise on Koh Samui

A foreign resident living in Mae Nam, Koh Samui, in Surat Thani province has filed a formal complaint to Koh Samui Municipality over persistent noise from crowing roosters, which he says has disrupted his sleep for around seven months. The complaint, dated 24 June, has attracted attention from local residents and social media users.

According to the submitted document, the resident reports that approximately three roosters in a nearby area have been crowing repeatedly from the early hours of the morning, starting around 3am. The birds are said to crow frequently at intervals of about every three minutes, creating ongoing disturbance throughout the early morning period. The complainant states that the issue has continued daily for several months.

The resident further claims that the prolonged noise has affected his ability to rest properly and has led to ongoing discomfort and sleep deprivation. He also notes visible signs of fatigue, including dark under-eye circles and physical stress symptoms, which he attributes to the extended period of disrupted sleep. The situation has reportedly persisted for around seven months without resolution.

The complaint indicates that the resident has previously raised the matter with relevant local authorities, and that officials have visited the area to investigate. However, he maintains that the noise problem has continued despite these inspections, prompting him to submit a formal request for further action under municipal powers.

The Daily News reported that the local authorities have not yet issued a detailed public response regarding the case. It remains unclear what measures, if any, will be taken to address the issue or mediate between the parties involved. The situation is still under review.

This freak is probably abusing drugs or alcohol, I'd say he's diet is poor, all these things will contribute to the above.

I've got this woman next door to me who moans, and yells out for more at times keeping me awake. I thought of approaching here to discuss this issue but she is a large woman, so best keep my mouth shut.

Which would explain the appalling BMI of British women.

So zero instinct for self preservation then!

Yep, I'm sure if he talked to the rooster's owner, he'd come to a reasonable outcome. As soon as the owner started sharpening his machete. Forign food beats tough old chicken!

And complaining to a cranked up meth head Thai and his mates about their non wedding related noise , will result in an immediate drop in volume, an apology and a wai? Note .. Adopting an angry "school teacher" tone of voice will of course result in uncontrolled laughter from the miscreants if you are lucky, or possibly severe beating if your luck has run out

And rightly so. Fit in or get the eff out.

The owner of the property that at leased is an incredibly powerful man and nobody would have dared touch him nor any friend of his.

i agree, using Ostriches would make it much more exciting are they as noisy as roosters in the morning?

Peacocks are pretty noisy and exceptionally attractive!

Of course he could have, but what you don't seem to understand is that this was not his issue, this was my issue. He lend me his rifle and gave me his bkessing as a favor, I did not expect him to do all the work.

What really puzzles me at this point is why you're so obsessed with this, and why you continue to eat chicken, even though you are adamantly opposed to the killing of roosters.

You just are not getting the point, my chickens are bought and paid for you are bragging about killing someone else's chickens just for fun.

I wasn't telling them for fun I was telling them for practical purposes to achieve peace and quiet in the place where I lived and spent my time.

However it just turned out to be a great deal of fun. Time out, no need to respond to me and I won't respond to you, as we're just going in circles.

Most sensible suggestion yet, cheaper than moving house.

This is something I'm incredibly proud of to this day, there are literally not enough roosters in the world to go around killing.

They are one of the most annoying animals on the planet especially the fighting breeds.

From my point of view possessing roosters if you live within 200 M of another human being is a violation that warrants that your roosters be exterminated. We all have our pet peeves and roosters for me are at the very top of my list.

I wonder how many of the posters that disagree with your post, have ever actually lived next to these really noisy roosters? I live in an area with many houses on small blocks of land, and the idiot neighbours have roosters that start at 4.30am and dogs that go off all day and night when someone rides past. I've just signed a lease in a much quieter area.
