If you turned round to look every time you heard maximum-volume shouting, you'd need a neck brace within 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor behind us though drives us crazy with an awfully loud witch voice and cackle. The police have been called a few times I wouldn't mess with a Thai witch. Better just stab both your eardrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she stupid and so are you sorry to say for putting up with it. Grow a pair and put your foot down.

It might be the glasses you read with is coloured by your own experiences. Indeed, where you come from matters, when it comes to respect for women and basic comon sense and understanding. Btw Im the op, and sometimes, I do get frustrated, but it could have been worse. Much worse than this! I could have been single ?

Much worse than this! I could have been single ? i am from the UK ive been married 1 time for 17 years very happy however relationships run their course as mine did, we had a good divorce and remained friends for a while so i have no chip on my shoulder or bitter about any of my own experiences. Indeed, where you come from matters, when it comes to respect for women and basic comon sense and understanding. from what your saying your wife dose not respect you because if she did you would not have to ask her many time and then ask people on here their opinions. i am single i live alone never sleep alone and have had many beautiful girlfriends and relationships here in Thailand and still have with good women who respect me my home and what i like want and need and in return i do the same for them. in short am i a pig NO but im i the boss YES ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alien365 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hummin, when your gf is noisy at 7 are you up or still in bed? If you're up I guess she thinks others around don't care about a bit of noise. If you're still in bed then she's way out of line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Oman some years ago, and had 5 mosques surrounding my office / apartment, all sounding off at slightly different times. Even if I managed to sleep through a few, one eventually got me out of my slumber. Didn't really matter, I was that busy I worked 16-18 hours a day 6.5 days a week anyway. Ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at my desk usually. Only went to bed when I'd had too many gins to focus on work anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, if you are overly sensitive to headlights, it could be a sign of early cataracts. This was the case with me. Don't panic, it can be fixed, and you can delay it until it's really bothersome. Another sign is if you can't find any setting in the optometrists chair that lets you see the eye chart with total clarity. Get it checked out.

RamenRaven Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Thais have learned to tune it out since they were babies. Barking dogs, motorcycle engines, neighbor's Thai pop music. It's all just background noise that you don't really notice. In your home countries, Thais will be sure to complain about extremely loud sirens, sports cars blasting gangsta rap audible from a mile away, Farang bike gangs, screaming Farang kids with no manners, Farangs yelling loudly and shamelessly in public, annoying Farang "music" such as deafening death metal, weird Farang strangers at the grocery store queue talking at you non-stop about the recent football game and his ex-wife, and argumentative blabbering Farang politicians on TV. Different types of noise pollution in different countries. It's actually far worse in other countries India and Egypt, so Thailand isn't really that bad.
