Popular Post Skipalongcassidy Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 What do some of you others do when partying neighbors decide that their music should be broadcast for the entire community to listen to... here I sit watching the rugby championship and my living room is vibrating as it has been doing since noon... it is now 6. There is no way that any of the revelers are communicating with each other... unless they are sitting across from each other texting. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 You can't do nothing about it.. Some Thau people think they are alone on the world.. The only thing I do sometimes i play loud music too when they have visitors, or early in the morning...But it has no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotEinstein Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Our village school had a party yesterday evening. Our house is half km away, but we could hear the music perfectly, with the added bonus that the glass was rattling in the window frames in time with the rhythm. This is standard fare in our, and I assume, every other normal Thai community. If it happens at school, the kids are hearing impaired and indoctrinated into the bigger and louder the better by adulthood. The solution? Shut the doors and windows and immerse yourself into something with headphones on if you can't go elsewhere for the duration. The next-door neighbours had a ghost party a couple of years ago, thankfully only during the day, so Airport Plaza for the afternoon was in order.

Depended on where you live, in decent condominiums where they have good administration you avoid most problems also noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacova Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 It’s part of the culture, adapt and live with it. Earplugs, close the window turn on the fan and blast the a/c. The fart cans attached to the motorcycles tail pipes are the the worst, I think it’s actually illegal in TH? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incapable ones self education is what appears here to be s*** for brains or not very much on the bright side. Blend in, become a part of it. But if living with it is difficult enough to make public complaints about something that won’t change then it might be time to move on. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mac Mickmanus Posted November 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2022 I had two security guards outside my Condo playing loud music all night on their smart phone and I politely asked then whether they would wear headphones The next night the two security guards outside my Condo were shouting at each other , shouting as loud as they could all night , at 3 AM I went down there to ask them to quieten down a bit . They both had headphones on and were playing music full blast and were shouting to each other so they could hear each over over the music from their headphones 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will think these foreigners don't know how to behave and will try to punish them with their noise. An endless noise battle could be the result ????????

hotandsticky Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thai Party houses - what are they all about ? In fact I thought renting them out for a day or two at a timed was illegal. A friend went to look at a house on a local secure estate and was impressed by how quiet it was. Unfortunately, these visits never take place on weekend evenings when the Thais will party into the early hours. He is moving out next week.

I stayed at my place here in Central Pattaya almost two decades before I decided to buy. It was completely quiet. Now I am in the middle of a very noisy red light district. Don't buy here if you don't want to lose money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be loud then its outside your window at 3 AM when you are trying to sleep , even when they had the headphones plugged in and the music was coming out the headphones speakers (when they nodded off to sleep and the ear pieces fell out their ear ) , I could still hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a new apartment in what was then a quiet convenient area in cm, then came the restaurants and the street got busy, and earplugs at night, then I moved mostly because of the loud fart cans on the motorcycles wizzing by the building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
