You forgot a few things, haha: Like at 6am, loud music everywhere (sometimes starting at 4am), i guess to wake up? Then, announcements over the village speaker system no later than 6,30am, if there is a festival at the local Wat (we have four nearby...), extremely loud music often until 6am during the weekends, to continue at 9am, and often from 7am (yes, I am awake by then...), the small trucks selling vegetables, complete with blarring messages and music. Yes, it is far more quiet in the center of Bangkok, I sleep well in Lumphini...

Yes, I forgot!!

I live at the edge of a "town" that is made from 9 "sectors". Around 6:00 / 6:30 in alternating orders the "boss village" (Majour) is giving a speech, and they start with loud music first ... luckily not every day, but most of the days. (They have "public loudspeaker systems" made for announcements ... like in old Germany during WWII, lol!)

I've driven through some Isaan villages at 6am, seen loads of women old enough to be my grandmother spending the day bent over picking rice, the old guys using those brush cutters to cut the plants by

Take your ear plugs. Isaan is the noisiest place I have ever lived in. You might just be lucky and fine a quiet place.
