Right does not always win.

 

First you farang it Thai.

 

Second You may win the battle but the LB or friends will know who complained and I would not want that hassle or worry.

 

third if the condo board knows what is happening and allows it then you are going to lose no matter.  The only ting I would do is ask your landlord if they have any other units in the building 

explain why you want to move but be polite and non aggressive.

 

Then move you can not win no matter what you think and however right you are.

 

PS  

 

You asked for our advice we have given it to you now it is up to you as to whether you heed the warnings or not.

It depends on the situation, if you are renting or own.  If you own,  press the Juristic and notify the condo board.  The other alternative is to sell of course.  
If you rent,  contact the owner.  If it’s owned by an individual they might resolve the situation.  Because this issue will cause ongoing problems renting it. 
You should attempt to move anyway.  It sounds like the Juristic is not good.  Poorly managed building.  Even though the police might not be reliable.  The Juristic should contact them anyway to report the goings on. 
One other option.  Contact the main office of the management company.  If it is a fairly large company.  Explain the issue to them.

Yup. It will only escalate on your or his/her side.

Put up , or move.

Ladyboys can get very ugly.

Many I have seen already are, although beauty is in the eye of the beholder !

In the real world you could inform the police and they'd be round to catch him/her red-handed. In Thailand, doubtful. One of the joys of living in the Third World. Sorry, a developing country. Having said that, they are pretty intolerant of drugs here on the whole,even if they are widespread, so it might be worth a try.

Move. Not worth the stress and drama.

 

About a decade or so ago, I checked out of a hotel in Sukhumvit around 3 AM (flight leaves at 7) and the receptionist was a ladyboy. Night shift so he was all by himself. He was on his phone chatting with someone and happily ignoring me but he very well knew I was there. So I pressed that bell thing on the counter and boom he went nuclear like an ex on that unstoppable destructive mission for revenge. I can still vaguely remember the ensuing scene. He looked like a cornered wild animal.

 

Yep, move.

[DaRoadrunner]

This is why you rent a condo, never buy. Once bought you are stuck with any problems that come along. Noisy neighbours are a very common problem here.

 

Get your landlord to complain on your behalf. Do NOT confront the ladyboy direct... this ends badly unless you are a Muay Thai kick boxing champion. Your only other way is to become a ladyboy.

I'd move, sounds like a problem waiting to happen.

Agree, the folks in and out of the oppsite condo love drama and love to cause drama, enjoy giving and receiving abuse (can be violent,more like verbal strong abuse).

 

They don't listen to security, they love the confrontation, and they don't listen to the juristic office. 

 

Best to move.

[Nemises]

Renting is ridiculously cheap and easy in Thailand compared to our home countries. 
Why even stay there waiting for random strangers on here to “help” you?

Should have moved out as soon as becoming aware of the going’s-on there.

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

Why are u in bkk? If not working go anywhere. Move buildings, move suburb, move town.

 

People r nicer in country.

Exactly, plus you have beaches n mountain towns.

Pay the LB a visit and make peace offering (a box of condoms, perhaps), then ask if you can use the bathroom. Beforehand you will have procured a few industrial strength cherry bombs to light before flushing down the LB's commode. If LB asks what happened, tell the LB you had explosive diarrhea - problem solved!!! ????????????

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.

I got knocked back on my application too…

Oh come on, man. I thought about putting an excuse in there for why the OP would want to use the LB's bathroom, but there are many he could use. How about this, "my toilet's broken, may I use yours?" Or how about this: I was making a total joke here, and I think even you got that!

If you bought the Condo-Call the Police, if you are renting-"MOVE."

and if he calls the police every LB and meth addict who visits will know who dobbed them in .... 

what do you think will happen  ?     let me guess  '' 

[Boomer6969]

Well if it brings men to its condo,  I'd try to hire someone who would act as a client and off it.

[Tropposurfer]

Leave, and if you own sell. Life is too short to live next to a vortex of insanity. 

[cheapcanuck]

Move, it's really that simple.

Nonsense post, you have nice and bad people everywhere. BKK has a lot more to do than smaller cities or villages.

True

Id go after 2 days

[uchibenkei]

Find a cheaper source of crack and/or meth so you can be the lb's dealer.  Then he'll do whatever you tell him.  You could probably score a few blowjobs too.  Or move to a building that whores and crackheads can't afford.

Department stores, movie theaters, Muay Thai stadiums, museums, waterparks, entertainment for kids, ... and many more. Should move around a bit more and you will discover a lot.

[NativeBob]

I like the "tourist police" idea. Yep, that's what they are for: taking care of tourists, even if they are not on tourist visa. However as any confrontation against local could get ugly I'd move.

PS: for decades I lived in many places around BKK and I wonder: how did OP find a <deleted>hole like this? Is it somewhere in slums of Klong Toey / Yannawa area? Sounds disgusting! 

[NickyLouie]

Note to self: Don't live in the Nirun Condos.

Oh, I got it!!!!!    You want to do an undercover bathroom LB bomb operation and then have AIDS infected water drench every unit and kill everyone!!!!    I can see you put the bombs down your pants, light them, but then the LB keeps you in the room too long and BANG!!!!

 

hard to understand my humor online, it's OK......I'll give you a hint........if you see !!!!!!!!!  then I'm not serious.

Building management should assist if there is rukus/noise after hours or even during the daytime. Talk to someone else in management or get another neighbor to do it that is more respected or speaks Thai well etc if the management is not very understanding. Or get another neighbor to go with you to the office so there are two of you there. I can't see them doing nothing in that case.

 

You need to keep complaining tactfully to get a response, not just a few times. Mention it when paying the rent, or just keep calling so the security guy gets <deleted> off and tries harder. If the security guy keeps getting calls it implies he is not doing his job, so he gets the message in that Thai way.

 

If they don't know you and they are not directly opposite you can put small tiny nails in the keyhole to the lock. They will need a locksmith each time and will get the message or move, but don't do it if you have complained or they will know it's you by asking the security guy or from gossip. How you do this is you stop and pretend to tie your shoes then slip the nails in as you stand up. That way if there is a camera or a neighbor is looking through a peephole they are not sure it was you.

 

It's best to just put in one tiny nail or pin, a needle works too. Just one is enough to <deleted> up the lock. It also makes it harder for the locksmith to report the cause to the resident, which they will surely be looking for during the repair. Usually they can't get it out as it takes too long to disassemble the whole <deleted> thing and a hole new lock needs to be put in.
