The worst is any kind of music or verbal advertising on speakers cannot stand how the volume is always turned up. For what? 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking all the fun out of a holiday. Nothing better than blasting the horn and buying the girls on stage a drink. Sadly the world is changing, like Pattaya. The chicks are getting fatter and it used to be fun riding around after midnight knowing that the cops had gone to bed (long time ago). Nevada was nice, opening at 1pm, on a hot day drinking a cold beer watching the pretties. It did get a lot of fat chicks in recent times. Oh well. Lots of changes Edited March 8, 2023 by Cricky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There NO place in Thailand where you will find a quiet spot.. People are screaming when they talk, TV's everywhere are on max volume, Shopping Malls as BIg C , Lotus etc have many different places in their shop that try to sell their stuff and than overall what should be background music, makes it a more like a club than a shop... Probably they never heard that soundpollution will scare the customers off. Than the open air parties almost every day somewhere.. Why turn on the music so loudly that sometimes we can't hear our own TV or that by the bass we hardly can sleep.. It happens in temples and public places, for weddings birthdays, and shows, cow races and also open air karaoke bars and just name it.. And than of course the stupid cars, with the advertisements, and in a few weeks of the parties for elections. Driving around the whole day... And as I write this at 6 00 in the morning there is someone already listen to the radio while I can hear inside my house... Complaining is no use as the police will always tell that everybody has a right to have a party, they have earn money etc.... No wonder that people shoot sometimes as sounds can make people crazy... It is used as a torture sometimes... And than I don't even talk about the crazy driving motorcycles and cars, and the cars that have the music on that you can hear streets away Edited March 8, 2023 by ikke1959 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LennyW Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Air horns in a party atmosphere is what it is, why not start with the badly tuned smoke belching pick-ups, motorbikes with modified exhausts that you can hear for miles, baht busses peep peeping, eardrum popping advertising trucks....or is that all too simple? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Thailands law number 1. Anyone with a speaker can do whatever they want with it. If the user is a place of entertainment, they can legally harass as many local residents as they want at any time of the day. Complaints to the City Hall or the police are considered a disturbance. Bangkok recently wanted to reduce noise on Khao San Road. Has anything changed? In Pattaya the rule always has been the more noisy open air entertainment venues the better. The "Ballermann" of Asia... Not correct - there you don't have so many sex businesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Excuse my ignorance, being a former country bumpkin from "up north", but why use an airhorn in a bar??? I presume it would be one of these:- My only thought would be to drown the noise from dreadful, screeching and inebriated Thai floozies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst here is maybe once in 2 weeks the speaker truck for a Muay Thai fight, i like that. Edited March 9, 2023 by ChaiyaTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I haven't been to Pattaya for more than 10 years and I didn't notice any airhorns in the bars back then. Funnily enough it never entered my mind that Pattaya could really do with interjections of the horrible ear splitting noise that these things produce. I have to wonder Why anyone would need or want them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I don't go to bars. But perhaps someone can explain it to me. What happens if someone rings the bell or uses the horn? Does he have to pay drinks for everyone on the dance floor, the whole staff or everyone in the bar? Does he get a cost estimate before they start to serve the drinks and is there a way back to avoid the commitment? Last question - what are the benefits of doing something like this? Will the girls love you more ???????????????????? = ???????????????????? ? Or what else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they have 2 bells, one for lady drinks and one bell for everyone in the bar. I was in the bar early afternoon the other day, it was early, only a few girls so the guy rang the bell for ladies only. He was billed for 18 lady drinks. Some girls arrived, looked like they'd just woken up, the cleaners and cooks were there cashiers, and the lady owner had arrived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
