who wants to live in a stressful environment? you only rent so move; either to another apartment in the block or to a new block.

Condos...lol? I rent by the month . Hotel/studios. People that  are here more or less passing by. In transit/ vacation.  I always felt I made the right decision.  Thanks for proving my point. Oh BTW  yep you're screwed.

This is a Thailand forum, please stick to things that exist here.

 

Welders use sunglasses, construction people wear flipflops, and big truck drivers take yaabaa. No way there is a store selling safety supplies in Thailand.?

Excuse me but yes there is. There was place in store in the Mall right near Dong Muang (ZEER Rangsit) that sells safety supplies, industrial tools, electronic tools like Fluke and tons of other supplies like ear protectors, traffic cones, safety vest, construction helmets, you name it

Wonderful Thailand. You want to wonder why people do not think that these kinds of things can happen and when they do their is usually little to no recourse.

 

Is he a condo owner and you a renter?

 

If so might not get any resolve.

Yes cos it couldn’t possibly happen in any other country

Hence why I live on the top floor corner unit. Many condo owners have a noise issue here because of substandard construction techniques. And not easy or cheap to fix.

Simple.... rent the condo above and give him a dose of his own medicine.

Then negotiate....from a position of strength!

I had a neighbor like that.....so I just got the boom out and started tapping on my ceiling whenever Big Foot was stomping around up above....?

Back on your ceiling when you think he is sleeping.

what does this mean....your words are drivel

“ Bang on your ceiling “ is what he meant to say ( IMO), not too difficult to work out.

A brown envelope to a couple of taxi moto boys should suffice.

This is probably the most practical advice on this forum.  Entirely doable, affordable, with a high probability of getting results.  Hypothentically speaking.

Thai Wassadu sells welders goggles, safety shoes and ear defenders. Mind you, there's no way that I could sleep comfortably wearing those.

Might turn the missus on, though.

It's the missus that wears them. Shhh...

had the same prob but it was sex sounds

 

never occurred to me to confront them, but i sure did move quickly

 

it was so loud im sure it was partly intentional (screaming louder then normal when they knew others could hear)

Maybe you should try and make him move ?

Try this for starters !!

Foam ear plugs. Soft ones from the pharmacy. Use a lubricating gell to perfect the seal. I use this system and have worked on oil wells and airbases.

Ear plugs make my ears not hear well for hours after; I have ear issues.  It's not a good option.

He said he is the owner. And he is here irregularly, so I think he comes and goes from farangland. But when he is here, I sure know he's back.

 

This is the number one reason why I would never buy a condo. I'd really like the comforts of not having yard work and potentially a swimming pool and gym in the building, but the downside is the OP's story. And that is far too common for my liking. I built my wife and I a house, my neighbours are not a problem.

I have a house in a gated estate. 20m pool and small gym. Wife does the "yard work". I love gardening but can't get near it. She's made a beautiful garden providing lots of edible produce.

To me, a house is the way forward. I don't know what prices are like now, but years ago when I was looking around for property, a one bedroom condo in a decent looking development cost significantly more than you could get a small house with garden on the dark side.

Works fine for me, but some prefer to be in the city.

With the improvements to Sukhumvit, I'm 10 minutes from Soi Buakau. House cost 3.2 m a few months ago. Best gated estate I've seen in Pattaya. 3 beds, 4 aircon, 2 bathrooms and a state of the art kitchen which I had installed at extra cost.

Sure it can but in civilized countries the law will do something about it.

Lot of exaggeration IMHO. Not so frequent, and something easily solved by the condo manager in most cases.

… until one of them decide to make his garden a refuge for Soi dogs

But you cant own a house.

Which is the reason that I rented for years.

 

Got to the stage that I knew that this house would be my last and my wife has done enough to deserve the house in the event of , so I bought. Not for everyone.

 

Also rented an identical house on the same estate for 16k/ month. Probably the preferred option for most.

Condo's suck. I would never live in one.

Be lucky you don't have a heavy smoker below you, a meth head, a surround sound system,or even a  moldy townhouse...

ive found the neighbors are a problem everywhere

 

best solution ive found is to build a fence at least 100 feet BACK from the property line (not on the line) tall enough to block line of sight

Spent much of the past two decades in them, never had major issues. Ideal if you want to be in the city centre and like good views. At the same time I've seen a lot of people living in houses at ground floor in Bangkok dealing with regular flooding problems.
