Tired of living with such a noisy familly

[Liverpudlian]

I kid you not ! since i moved in with the G/Fs folks here Surin 2 years ago, i think i am going insane with the noise of it all, no one speaks to me in a normal tone its as if i am hard of hearing or even deaf !! any one else here get my drift ?

[olfu]

^{...rent before you buy!}

Build a nice size granny flat 100m away from the main house and say you want to give the family more space in the main house.

 

But beware the family don't quickly migrate to the granny flat... in which cse build another granny flat a further 100m away.

Avoid girlfriends and marriage = no problems with Thai families.

[sirineou]

Do they speak to everyone else loud also , or just you?

Maybe you could have changed something 1 year and 11 months ago.

Now it's probably too late.

[EVENKEEL]

You're living "with" them as in it's their house not your. You don't like it get your own place. Man up.

[neeray]

Eh? What? Speak up, I can't hear you.

[IvorLott]

My advice would be to tell the GF you want to be alone and 'build your own nest' s it were. cite factors such as wanting independence, freedom, peace and quiet and so on and see what happens.

Is your family thai, Lao, Khmer or suay?

[neeray]

It must be awesome, almost orgasmic, very pleasant and rewarding in bed each night with your gf.

Like, I mean, that's probably the only time that the family home is quiet (except for snoring and people breaking wind in their sleep).

Not going to change so you need to learn to live with it.

Perhaps you can go to loud isaan music festivals and sit near the speakers, then when your hearing is damaged you can wear a hearing aid with a volume knob ????

[Dumbastheycome]

Yes. It is  an Isaan  thing. Actually  quite an Asian thing. Not  everywhere  but  a common feature of  conversational  volume.

Apart from that  opinion input I would suggest you need to  learn to tolerate it  or not.

Perhaps a drop in the GFs monthly salary may work wonders ey! 

[SteveK]

I get "gin khao" shouted at me whenever certain family members are sitting down to eat their bowl of cold grey slop, but they know I won't eat it so just quickly ask them what it is and if they're enjoying it before going back to my hammock. I think they are just being nice.

no it's not an ''issan thing''

it's more a farmer thing

how do you think they can communicate from one ricefield to another if they don't speak loud?

 

[neeray]

I have a slight hearing problem from noise damage many years ago. I prefer when people speak loud to me. My home is very quiet. Maybe we could switch places. What does your gf look like?

Agree with you except from ''build your own''

rent is most of the time a cheaper way to go

[simon43]

Do they shout at their dog or speak to it in a reasonable voice?  Might give a clue where you stand in the pecking order ????

Dare i mention the <deleted> dogs too !! totaly beyond control and hopefully they will meet a blunt end of a passing car bumper of wich the familly would never compensate the damage to the car / motorbike.
