They know that Muslims are being reminded of prayer times,” Sombat said. So understands but really doesnt want to, neighbours "tolerated" already says a lot, friendly co existence= total joke, the mosque may have been there a long time but i bet it didnt have big ferk off speakers 100 years ago and was less densely populated and people probably didnt have to work night shifts, if your religion is so good why do you have to remind your flock..................of brainless sheep to come, Religion, stupidity personified 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat handler Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Everyone has a mobile phone these days, and they have clocks and alarms, surely these muzzies can set their alarm to remind themselves to pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise is noise and here in Thailand noise carries. It needs not to be rated by an absurd decibel system. How a bout if you have cricket outside your room at night? Muslims need to shut their noise hole up. Quiet is the only thing sacred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are contravening the Thai Constitution, do you see yourself as above your host country laws? However, logically you must include Buddhist activities, good luck with posting a similar comment online with Pantip whoever, don't think you would be staying much longer in Thailand.

oldrunner Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Firstly. prayer calls are 5 times a day. Secondly, before electricity and speakers, a "caller" would mount the minerat and in his best voice, announce 'call to prayers' thus the call was only heard by the nearby Moslem residents. Unlike Obama, I do not tear up at the sound of 'call to prayers' even though I'm surrounded by my Muslem family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where it is heading to on modern Thailand. So, does it look like the old decibel version of Thai law will stay in existence? Noise pollution is aggravation and comes in many forms just not religious. and yes, I oppose noise pollution adamantly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I'm not stupid enough to live next to a Muslim mosque or too close to a Thai temple that actually makes noise in the morning. Hate roosters too! Experience grows after 25 years here. I am well educated about do's and don't and fair or not, or rights being a thing entirely up to other things. I have stayed in hotels next to Muslim mosques that squeak at that ungodly hour of the morning, and it is very unacceptable and unpleasant. If it was not a daily ritual (benefits no one) and only sometimes, then no problem, but it isn't. Rights in Thailand, don't get me started. I have many friends who are Thai human rights lawyers. One of the highest profile one's in the country. So rights in Thailand for anyone is a very thin line and nothing is guaranteed.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I referred to the Thai Constitution, the last I recall was authorised in 2017, but I understand not published. There has been a draft translation into English, don't know if one can legally link to the translation by way of a Thai domiciled forum. You can research earlier versions of the Constitution which granted full religious freedom which is reflected in TV rules - leave it at that.

Approx 40dB is lowest level urban sound level, average 10dB is impossible in a city street environment such as BKK. Alternatively if your interpretation is correct whoever wrote the standard is a fool. 10dB is the sound of breathing (barely audible)... http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm Edited October 8, 2018 by simple1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when muslims living in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe try to pray towards Mecca, they are in fact facing Israel.

Just Weird Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 10 hours ago, webfact said: “But every time the measurements are made, the mosque is found to have complied with noise standards and the volume has never exceeded 80 decibels,” Sombat said. Maybe someone should point out to him that 80Db is the maximum level allowed, not the required level. They'd still be easily heard at 40Db but, unfortunately, those living 5kms away might miss the announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how241 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There is a mosque in Pattaya that also blasts out loud chanting. Need to turn down the volume there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackin1960 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There is a very simple way to resolve this, simply apply the same rules as Saudi does and ban all other religions with the exception of your own. This might also resolve some of the problems in the south forcing trouble makers to move further south. Win win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonboy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Another proof that Islam is not prepared to evolve. Most of the rules and customs were written about 600-700 years after Christ, in a book called the Koran. Apart from the fact that there are a lot of useful tips, there are also rules that might have been useful at that time, but not anymore today. The 500 years following the writing of the Qur'an were a time of enlightenment (the Islamic gold period), but after that a decay occurred and, just as in the Christian world, splits of Islam arose. Without central administration, own theories were developed and views were developed. We all know the result. The followers of Mohammed are now even killing each other and renewal is not possible. Great belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 This Muslim call to prayer was valid 1400 years ago, not today. Besides, if they miss a prayer so what; Allah is understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
