Crazy neighbour - suggestions please

[Promula]

Opinions please. 

I recently retired and bought a run down house in Hua Hin that's been empty for 3+ years with a front patio that has great views of the nearby hills and overlooks the garden of the next door house that's further down the hill. I've been cleaning and painting the front of the house and patio area over the past few weeks. The middle aged foreign (seems Spanish) woman renting the house below mine sits out in her garden chain smoking and shouting into her phone for hours at a time which I can hear in every room of my house even with the windows closed, but there's not much I can do about that. She also lets her dog run wild around the neighbourhood and it's come into my garden and chased my cats several times when I've opened my gate to go out. The first time it happened she was walking nearby and I asked her if she could keep the dog in her garden. She said yes but it was back out again shortly after and every day since.

 

To try to cut a long story short, yesterday at 19:30pm she rang my doorbell on my front gate several times. I went outside and she started shouting at me through the gate that her young daughters don't want to go in their garden when there's a man above them on his patio. She then accused me of watching them and being a "pervert" and "pedophile" and that she was scared that I'd rape them. My Thai wife was in the doorway and heard this crazy woman defaming me.

 

I called her an idiot and asked her to stay away from my house. I could then hear her shouting on her phone for the next two hours telling numerous people that she had a pervert and pedophile living next door and was also asking them why her dog didn't have the right to roam around the neighbourhood when cats could do that.

 

She clearly has some serious mental health issues. How to proceed?

Crazy neighbour - suggestions please  :

 

You bought ....  she's renting ....    therein lies your problem. 

 

Find out who she's renting from then offer the agent 20k baht to make something up and force her to move.

Sorry I think this topic has gone in the wrong room.

 

^ Buying isn't my problem. I don't need to stay there, and can rent it out. Thanks for the suggestion on finding out who the owner is....

Very good question. 

You have a problem with her smoking at her own property?

[VinnieK]

I wonder how far she lives..

You can hear her talking on the phone? ????

Plus...re the dog, you can put a simple (nylon) fence around the house for a 1000-2000 baht or so.

It was a comment about one of the few things I know about her. Strange of you to zoom in on that.

She shouts into it, not talks. Can hear her in my bedroom which is on the back of the house.

 

I don't think she wants to keep the dog in....

Cat traps aren't all that expensive, and the Tessaban office will collect and dispose of what you catch.

Not necessarily barking, I believe she's just gone "native ",????

[Lucky Bones]

For the love of Buddha!

She is keen on you.

Bed her quickly.????????

[bob smith]

just drop a box of eggs and a bag of flour onto her patio.

 

should do the trick.

 

p.s dont forget to open slightly both the box of eggs and the bag of flower before dropping them from above...

Dob her into immigration, probably an overstayer

Dog problem easily solved, but not a good idea with the woman. Try putting large speakers on her side of your house and playing music very loudly every time she is shouting on the phone.

Put up a screen fence so you can't look into her property. I wouldn't like my neighbours looking into mine, even without daughters.

Speaker option is a nice tid-for-tad solution when she is shouting again. 

OP wrote that he has a great view on the nearby hills from his front porch.  Blocking his view for the crazy woman on the other side by a screen fence would be the 'world upside-down'. 

If she does not like him sitting on his front porch, she should build a fence so she doesn't see him.

2 out of your 4 complaints, is not so strange. Why don't you answer them.

Screen fence doesn't have to be so high he can't see over it. Just high enough she can't see him.

It is his cat that pisses everywhere.

Sell and rent.  I never understand people buying here seems more complaints then pleasure.

Yes the view is one of the best things about the house. I'm not blocking that because of an aggressive neighbour. She could put a tall hedge around her garden if she wants it to be private. That's up to her.

Presumably she moved into her place during the years my place was empty. Common sense should tell anyone that houses don't remain empty & for sale for ever.

 

If she wanted a private garden she should have rented a place with a private garden or put in a tall hedge to make hers private. Her poor choices and lack of action isn't my fault.

It was a steal at 5 million. Could rent for 40,000pm once we've finished doing it up, but that was never our plan. Might be soon though if this matter doesn't end.

You have a Thai wife. She is a foreigner. Obviously speaks English.

Find out who she is renting from, then have your wife speak with the owner.

Record her when she is calling you a pervert/pedophile, then consult a lawyer. Thai penalties for defamation can be quite onerous, and include jail time of up to two years..

Thank you. I regret not filming yesterday's event as it was shocking.

 

My wife has been talking for weeks about installing perimeter security cameras with sound recording. She ordered two this morning. One will be aimed at the front gate.

If she is that obsessed, rest assured it will happen again. Be ready when it does.

I live in Hua Hin

 

Years ago I had a issue with a neighbors dog barking non stop

 

I went to the Tessaban who were very helpful and they went round to speak to the Thai owner of the dog and the problem stopped 

 

Go to the Tessaban and explain the issues you are facing. They do speak reasonable English there but take the wife so they can understand fully

 

Some videos or audios of this woman and her dog may help 

[Sigmund]

The OP should take the spanish lady to bed perhaps ? ....that should release the excess pressure on all sides ?
