Are there any farangs on the Condo Committee, talk to them. I can't believe they would tolerate a crackhead brothel in the condo, mine certainly wouldn't.

The noise and high volume of traffic could be complained about but the smoking meth is a guess at best unless you actually see them doing it. I would not mention that without concrete proof as that will come with instant retaliation if it is going on. Let the authorities deal with it if anyone actually shows up to deal with the noise\traffic issue.

If you need any help finding another place, or bodies to help you move. Post it here. I'm sure there are lots of fellows willing to help.

 I  had a noisey   Thai  neighbor  when i complained directly to him, he said "Move or die'... i believed him !!

[chuang]

Move out..one if these days they may just throw a pack of meth into your room... Problems.

People buy condos but not in a dead end neighborhoods full of crack head kateoys as in the op. It's common sense.

Why does he need advice? Pretty easy decision to make.

install a camera and document the coming and going and the noise from that apartment and interduce that to the police as solid evidence,

"Solid evidence" of what?   Why would police have any interest in visitors to someone's condo?   I'm pretty sure that friends coming and going, even if they don't do it quietly, is not illegal.

You've just listed the reasons I'd never buy a condo.

Be very courteous and super glue his doorlock.

Guy in my building did that. 3 guys across the hall from his apartment had a band and practiced all hours, full volume.  He had tried complaining but it fell on deaf ears.

All apartments in my building have metal security doors which are secured by padlock, with loops both inside and outside the door.

He bought an extra-tough, rounded padlock, the kind that's difficult to cut and one night when they were banging away. put it on the outside of their security door.  He also super-glued the keyhole.

There was a lot of yelling and screaming when they found themselves basically in jail.  They couldn't pick or cut the lock so they had to cut the door with a grinder.  

Building owner finally decided they weren't worth it and tossed them out.

Meth? Hormone therapy? Late night confrontation? Not a good combo.

 

That leaves only two options. Either:

 

1) leave your front door ajar, put on a Shirley Bassey CD, get yourself a lava lamp, a feather boa, a vial of patchouli oil, some Hai Karate cologne (available on Amazon), and a pair of pink bunny hop house slippers and see where things take you, or,

 

2) move.

 

P.S. I might be confusing being a 60's hippy with being transexual.

Good - you are in a position to make an easy decision - (you don’t own it and can move). 

 

You don’t want to move - Thats naivety....    it’s far easier and simpler to move away from this issue. 

IF this issue does get dealt with, who will move in next ? the juristic committee don’t care, so they don’t care who moves in an who causes issues in other rooms or other floors, it could be dogs, other rooms used as a brothel or crack-house etc... its just not worth it. 

 

Moving to a better place is the only sensible solution. 

 

You could call the police, but do you really trust them not to tell the LB that the foreigner across the hallway has ‘grassed him/her up’... and... you know it, 'no one likes a grass !!!'....  that LB will hate you and in a cracked up state potentially cause you a world of problems. 

 

This is defiantly one of those ‘walk away’ situation....   life too short, just be happy somewhere else. 

 

------

 

If you walk away, will you lose deposit ? probably. 

Just use your deposit as your last months rent - then claim the owner didn’t fulfil their part of the contract as the property isn’t safe with a crackwhore living opposite.

The Op doesn’t mention that he rents in his original post. 

 

He only mentions that he’s rending half way down the first page of the thread. 

 

Important info he should have lead with. 

 

That said - a lot of people reply without reading the whole thread to get updated information before the fire off a reply from the hip...

I know for sure , they’re all smoking meth. The crackhead told me. Also I’ve seen people go in the room that I know are crackheads. Been here long time. Wish there was an anonymous service I could pay for to get rid of these disrespectful scumbags

[Gecko123]

On second thought....

 

My 'go-to' strategy for dealing with inconsiderate neighbors is to try to disarm them with affection. Without alluding to their door slamming or late night partying, you could present them with something like a fruit or gift basket or maybe something from a high-end bakery. I obviously wouldn't make it anything that could be confused as a romantic overture. 555

 

The reaction is probably going to be a brain-storming session to figure out why you are giving them a gift. There's a good chance that they'll figure out why you were motivated to do it. If pressed as to why you are giving them the gift, just say it's like a house warming gift, or "it's a tradition back in Norway" or some similarly confusing explanation. They will probably get the message and be more considerate.

 

If you're really, really pressed to come up with an answer for why you are giving them a gift, you can say something like "I wanted to thank you for keeping the noise down", you know, like thanking them for something they already did (even if they haven't). If I know anything about Thais, they should get the message, without confrontation, and you should see some improvement in their behavior. Since you're reluctant to move, it's worth a shot.

Move because confrontation in this situation has very limited chance of success, and you may encounter continued ramifications 

 

moving is almost a sure fire solution if you choose your next residence carefully

you really didn't read the posts.... it's a lose, lose situation you will be having more and more trouble and even more if you call the police on him/her or whatever is, revenge is their modo/motto.... sometimes trying to find a cheap rental or less expensive it may take one into some dark areas that should be avoided, if I was you I would move ASAP, but as they here  "It's Up To You"

1.Move ,there is no drama in it!

2.Stay and speak your mind and your opening up a can of….

 The second option result is a continuous watching over your shoulder! LB can be very temperamental  imop

LOL.  Breaking the law to the falang???????  You are a visitor.

 

Meth head can be very, very dangerous.   Get the police, then they will want revenge on you

 

You want to make their life very bad, then think it will be OK for you?

 

NO

 

leave immediately, lesson learned.

Now threatening violence, murder.......yea, this isn't going to help your case.

 

Now we should report the falang for wanting to kill a Thai.

 

sounds pretty bad........................looking for a hit man on a thread.

 

should be reported!!!!  

[JimmyJ]

 

 

1) Have you spoken to the other neighbors? 

They must be going crazy also.

 

What if 4 of you went to the police together, including at least 1 Thai?

 

2) I like 1 poster's suggestion of speaking to the condo owner. 

Tell him you can't stand it and will have to leave if he can't do something, and that nobody else is going to stay more than a month 

.

3) Forum posters everyday talk about police getting brown envelopes - whoever pays the police the most wins in disputes, etc., etc.

 

I've never dealt with the police here.

Forum posters - why haven't any of you suggested this?

Fear of a ladyboy is that big?

 

4) 

Liverpool Lou - "Him."

 

Have Liverpool knock on his door and "misgender" him.

You are an adult, go to the tourist police and file a complaint, saying that you may get no result and LB will be still living there and will know you went to the police.

 

As many expats on here have already said, move, the easy option and you will have a better quality of life. It is interesting the Condo management have not done anything, maybe move into a better condo that has a good track record of management, go for the big names in the industry.

Tourist Police ? nearest cop shop ?

[Rhys]

Best option to move... because it is something that will be done...effectively, rather than depend on others...   Start looking.

[brianthainess]

I guess the LB is renting ? therefore the owner is allowing class A drugs to be used at his property, if they are informed about it.
