Why only in Bangkok and why only vehicles.. In my province you can here bonk bonk bonk from miles away if there is a party or concert. Only the bass, I don't understand why Thai people like to here bass only and in the cars more noise than a club in the western world.

 

 

The louder and more bass-heavy the better.. Usually find that the cost of the sound system is inversely proportional to their bad taste in music. ????

About time. I hear many GRAB delivery bikes in my area with modified exhaust. Wish the GRAB company would require the delivery drivers use NON-modified vehicles. 

I hear about 10- 20 % of vehicles with modified exhaust over all. The police should follow the law and get them off the public streets, destroy them forever, and fine the drivers 50,000 B.

Why anyone would advertise via loud exhaust they are insecure in their manhood, ( small penis), is beyond reason.

"Why anyone would advertise via loud exhaust they are insecure in their manhood, ( small penis), is beyond reason." This would also include most Harley owners.

What about the noise polution from car and pick-ups sound systems?  Most of these pr**ks take delight riding aroud with the volume turned up and their windows open wide  " look at me I have a loud sound system I am so clever " Of course a lot of this takes place in the evenings when the police are sleeping at the police station.

Surely they mean 'suped' not 'souped'....

Then the ignorant morons who blast their music at 6am without any thought that others might enjoy quiet 

[DUNROAMIN]

How about those Duff Duff loud music pickups and motor bikes with no mufflers.

[Bangel72]

They recently changed flight routes out of Bangkok, every 10 minutes or so the almost constant jet noise, guess the old flight route guys are happier.

What in Gods name are you talking about?  Thais have no idea at all what noise pollution means,

My bike got measured by the police in Pattaya, to 92 db which was legal.

So, you want a bunch of flowers from the Police Chief?

Come on the police need time to sleep of their hangover from the day

Now that it had made news selected location when enforcement should be 24/7 by every BIB their job is done back to the phone 

[NoshowJones]

Another 24 hour crackdown.

[johncat1]

What about the speaker buses? Buses converted into giant loud speakers and often used for village activities. The bass from their massive sound systems  makes all my windows and doors shake. The only consolation is all the people in and around the bus will go deaf or suffer serious brain damage ( if that's possible ?? ) But this noise is accepted by the authorities and the police, so nothing will ever be done about it.  Presumably Buddha invented the Tannoy and sound systems and gets royalties on all sales.

Never mind cars; get cracking on the horribly loud motorcycles.

And in 30 days the bib will go and check that improvements have been made, can anybody on here imagine that this will happen? Another 1 day crackdown for the media.

I hope you are right. Nobody needs these western rules in this country. Except the key board warriors under their blue roofs in Isaanistan.

[dallen52]

What again?

 

And smoking vehicles...

 

And!!!

I have a big penis, but thats beside the point. On a 1100cc motorcycle, the louder the noise, the more safety for me and everyone else on the road. This is a fact.

I don't think so.

Only time they move is when station chief starts a "Go fund me"...

Not an expert, but I think the criteria would hold, otherwise what's the point? Racket is racket. In the US you would be required to get it fixed or face more fines. 

I'm afraid the noisy cars and bikes are a big thing in the USA.  If these people just invested all this wasted money.  I agree small dick syndrome.   As if a girl is impressed?

Also hope they catch the black smoke belching pickups 

By far the noisiest are the "big bikes" and modified bikes. Concentrate on them.

Craziest statement I have heard in a long time. 

[ripstanley]

How about bike and cars driving on the wrong side of the road. I think Police should read their own traffic rules and enforce them. I know this would be a miracle but we can only hope.

Some off topic posts and the replies have been removed.

Noisy Bikes and Black smoke choking trucks.

Get rid of them, particularly in Bread-and-Butter tourist hotspots.

Young travelers are very environmentally conscious these days you know !

One behind a toll booth trapped 5 vehicles two of which were found to be breaking the law.

 

Another at a PTT gas station exit snared 15 vehicles with eight illegally adapted, noisy polluting vehicles being stopped in a four hour period from 9 pm.

Have a guy outside my place, starts his modified Toy Avansis [pun intended] every morning at 05:00

Sounds like he's got a straight through pipe...

[bbbbooboo]

hmmm .... more hot wind i suspect

[DJ54]

Have louder than stock on HD  … ok a bit louder… one plus is if the car driver doesn’t see you hopefully they hear you… I’m respectful of others and stay off the throttle in town…

It's a pity that no one is tackling the noise pollution coming out of government house and parliament.
