Colbrit Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Ubon ratchathani province. Next door neighbour has a cow shed 3 metres from my home, the smell outside my patio is horrendous and causing me breathing problems, and several visits to the doctor for medication, but he refuses to relocate this shed stating that it's on his land and although I've offered to pay he still refuses. My health is a main issue now.any thoughts or advice please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 If its in the countryside then i think your out of luck. In a city zoning might apply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B Good Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 You are on a hiding to nothing. If he is already digging his heels in, he is probably looking for you to up the ante.......that is fatal.....it will be like paying a blackmailer. Even if you pay him to move the shed elsewhere, he could just build another one in the same location. If it is an option, move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can keep cows where they want. That is village life for you. So either move or get used to it.. or like the guy said an industrial fan would help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 We had same issue, but with chickens, wife went to Amphur / pollution control folks, and they shut him down, with warning, clean up or else. He didn't, so they did. Chickens gone, cleaned up, and backfilled clean dirt. No smell now. F'g lovely ???? I would consider this rural village, so you DO have rights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted April 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2022 Forget about "fighting back" it wont work and becomes a battle of wills. Pointless power struggle. First stop is the Phu Yai Baan, talk to him and ASK for him to help. Next is the local Wat, ask the head monk there to help and talk with him. This is the Thai way generally and whilst you dont matter to him, those guys do ! You have to live there too, if you have a Thai Wife SHE is the one to handle this. Wherever possible let Thais handle Thais, its generally more productive. If not, get a Thai to acompany you and assist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the location and odour of the cow shed cause you "breathing problems" or do you just mean that you don't care for the smell?

internationalism Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 have you moved to this house recently or the neighbour relocated shed next to your house? this stench might be from internal parasite infestation. Dangerous to animals, but also to humans. Veterinarian should be called to determine health, apply medication. In extreme cull part of herd to safe the rest. Ideally there should be a septic tank, that should be emptied frequently. It's a health hazard if there is not a one or became nonoperational. If there is some new bacteria causing stench it should be disinfected. Possibly drains from the septic tank to some remote ditch became blocked.
