Popular Post Hummin Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 I like it quiet, and I do not like when people shout from inside room or outside room, from balcony to balcony, house to house, but it is Thai style, no matter what time is it. My gf speak loud on speaker in phone with her mom 7 in the morning! Do not help how many times I tell her to wait at least after 8 (respect for neighbour) or speak not so loud, she will forget the next day! Is it me, her or I just have to accept how it is ? How hard can it be? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Esso49 Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I sympathise with you. As I continue to tell my wife and family of many years "empty vessels make most noise". And even after all these years they still believe I am joking !!!

Popular Post worgeordie Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 You don't understand Thainess,noise is a way of life, although,maybe changing a little bit,just the other day, a Thai had enough and shot dead his neighbour when he would not turn down the volume. regards worgeordie 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jimmyyy Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thai's are just naturally loud, there is no volume control on conversations. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pgrahmm Posted August 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2018 My family is quiet when speaking to each other up close... But loud on speakerphone + if not in the immediate room they shout to find out where to find each other..... I've made an attempt to have them go seek out the person they want/need as I was taught that was the proper way..... Although, I do recall my own Mom calling for me from another room.....Instead of going to her I said "WHAT?"......Next thing I knew she was right there with her hands on her hips = "DON'T you WHAT me"...... Didn't know she could move so fast...... 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Thailand, with all of its blatant flaws, seems the best match for my personality which would be deemed in long ago times to be eccentric.

Popular Post Deli Posted August 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2018 GF is not loud with me, sometimes with others, never uses the speaker phone and dislikes loud music, mine must be different ? Whilst I never understand this speaker phone thing, I am happy here, as the volume of life is not regulated buy b.s. laws, as in most European or other Western countries. I see it as a kind of freedom and enjoy this freedom, together with the locals. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman20 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Is it me, her or I just have to accept how it is ? How hard can it be? No she stupid and so are you sorry to say for putting up with it. Grow a pair and put your foot down. If she likes you she will respect you and be quite if she does not then she will continue as she is. Then it's time to show her the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soistalker Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I don't have noisy neighbours at my condo, thanks the Lord. But I have in the past.

55Jay Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thankfully, my wife knows how to modulate herself but a lot of the time, she's in the other extreme - I'm in my office with a big fan on behind me and she talks to me from the living room in a normal voice. I can hear that she's talking but can't understand a word of it. After a minute she'll raise her voice and ask, "Did you hear me?". LOL. Two Thai female neighbors - one to my left and the one across the street from her - will carry on a 10-minute conversation with each other from their respective houses, yelling back and forth across the street. The neighbor to my left has one of those highly annoying, shrill, nasal voices; it goes right through me like a hot knife on butter. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holymoly Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I find that Thais speak very quietly with each other when in a small group or at work. Teens with motorcycles are a very different matter as are loudspeakers in a store advertising something - boy, oh boy ! But noisy bikes are not fined and advertisers are not told to cool it. So ? what do you expect ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not just the Thai's although I agree with the OP, my neighbour is a bloody Johnny foreigner from somewhere in the EU, I can here every word he and his Mrs say to each other, they don't talk they shout and that is a normal conversation, I have pulled him up about it but it made no difference, and as I type the 2 women across the street are talking, they are about 50 meters away and I have Radio 2 on and I can still here every word, ridiculous.

In my family they also yell from house to house and sometimes cannot remember to adjust the volume when they are standing next to you... and yes, it seems to be normal or at least not unusual for country people.. you are not likely to be able to change it. but, it sounds like that is not the only thing getting under your skin... if you are going to accuse the entire population of being bi-polar, I think you are off base and looking to hate on Thai people, which is not a good plan if you hope to enjoy your life here... Just remember, criticism kills love - - and if you keep picking at your wife, it will understandably get under her skin... maybe try and be a bit more patient, understanding and you will get along better... I would guess some of your habits might get on her nerves too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tofer Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I've nicknamed 2 of our neighbours BG1 & BG2. BG2 holds conversations with a neighbour 50m away in a grating high pitched voice, moooost annoying. BG1 does not speak he shouts, I'm convinced he's deaf from his unsilenced fishing boat engine. Another complained at my wife for putting food (fish) residue in the roadside bin as it smelt. These people have fishing boats and regularly dump tons of fish on their front porch for sorting and selling - the irony is lost on them though...... The most annoying aspect is that they all sit on the apartment steps below us smoking and shouting (talking) with no regard for anyone else. Thankfully this is only a temporary accommodation we are at and will soon be moving to our own land, can't wait to see the back of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
