Had a new thai couple move in next door and bloomin heck they make a racket.

the bloke is very loud (almost to the point of shouting when he talks)

he slams doors constantly and leaves his car engine on all the time.

at night they sit outside till 1am, laughing the night away while the rest of us are trying to get some sleep.
the other night the woman was frying some eggs at 2am and knocked all her pans onto the floor, must have been intoxicated.

i live in a quiet soi (until they moved in anyway) and can see they dont match with the harmony of the street..

they have a noisy dog as well, that barks from 5am each morning.

 

do they not realize how noisy they are?

i mean, have they no perception of how they come across outside of their own personal space? Or do they know and just dont care? There are a few noisy neighbors in our project and most of them seem to be chinese thai types. Real thais seem to be polite and respectful on the whole where I live. If it carries on im gonna go round and give em a piece of my mind. 

Be careful!

Shocking!

81 and rum as they come! ????

Another disdvantage of living in a house on a Soi.  Noisy and claustophobic.

Maybe get out and move into a nice higher end Condo with good security, no animals, no car noise, no kids, etc.

 

PS:  If you cannot sleep try a good powerful fan.

Health wise giving them a piece of your mind may not be the brightest thing to do.

We are SO lucky that our neighbours are great (all Thai) and we make the most noise, although I try to keep my mob under control.

 

As was once said to me 'their right to make a noise is greater or at least equal to our right to peace and quiet.'

 

Many Thais just don't get it because they don't get bothered by it... and of course highlighting it will cause loss of face or confusion or friction, or them thinking you're an idiot, but probably all four.

You really are lucky.

you can count your chickens there mate!

Nothing to do there. If you want recover your peaceful life....  Move.

see how it goes for a while and if it is as bad as you say then you could try the polite approach although they probably don't understand a word of english.

If you have a building manager or some thai admin, complain to them and ask them to go talk to the neighbor. Failing that,  you may have to move.

I realised a long time ago the only way to gaurantee any kind of peace and quiet would be to have a 20 rai piece of land, build your house right in the middle of it, and have a 2 metre high wall all around.

 

You are far enough away from roads, neighbours with yappy dogs, farm workers with noisy tractors, people using strimmers at 5 in the morning, and <deleted> water pumps and metal buffaloes droning on all day.

 

What else, agh yes, the local headman boring everyone to death with his announcments over loadspeakers almost everyday.

Sorry bkk can't agree with you there.  I live in a house at the end of a soi , a garden , 2 cats and trees.  If I lived in a condo I would get claustrophobia in a couple of hours.

Welcome to Thailand, and if you have here for a while than you shouldn't surprised at all, although most thais are mindful of their behaviour and neighbors some however are a complete thuggish tossers...

Good that you didn't buy a house

If it carries on im gonna go round and give em a piece of my mind. 

 

Let us know how that plans out for you mate, Or maybe I should just wait for the news article to find out.

Oh, another falang enjoying living in thailand???????????????????????????????????????????????? hope u didn't make the mistake of buying. Do u have water? ????????????

Problem solved I thought when moving out in the rice fields placed between two village bosses, two temples, a school, and closest neighbour is 300m across the field. Still I have noise when there is a monk party, funeral, the bosses have something important to Share (almost every F morning 05:00), buddha days, and so on or the neighbour fights or party. Forgot the dogs, and the cickens, and the trucks going all the night up in the mountain road behind us. About 300 meter trough the forrest have to say, but still

 

Well we have totally insulated our bedroom, so we are okay for now ????

Be careful...you are not dealing with rational people!

Thais  are  very  noisy, ever  been in a shop when one thai man is  in there, the type who you can hear 3  streets  away and hes  talking to his  friend right next to him, bellowing in his  ear,  youd  think they were  a  100 metres  apart.

Noisy neighbours  bane of many peoples  lives, dont worry when you confront them theyll deny everything and then in their usual childish way make even more  noise, like spoilt  kids that never had a good slap, yeah SLAP, go pc  that where the sun dont shine.

Theres  plenty of them about in Thailand, you can usually hear them in a shop...........from the other end of Tesco/Big C talking to their Wife. I walk past them and shout something at my Wife sometimes, she thinks Im nuts.

Unless you park yourself in the middle of a rice paddy, as one of the other posters said, in Thailand you have to deal with noise!

 

From early morning music at 5am a mile away for a wedding/funeral/monk ordination, and the list goes on, to people basically shouting at each other, it's just their culture.

 

As for people, and yes I love my wife, but she's frikkin loud too, as are most Thai's, probably due to fact their are partially deaf from sitting next to those 10ft high speakers at various parties, at distortion level volumes loud enough to make your ears bleed.

 

But she's loud. I often joke that she doesn't need a phone, open a window, and shout, they'll hear you in Thailand!

"Sow Wow" is not that complicated.

Just buy a good loud sound system and continuously play Hendrix or The Who stuff, they will probably move.....????..................????
