Popular Post Promula Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 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? 1 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to stay there, and can rent it out. Thanks for the suggestion on finding out who the owner is.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think she wants to keep the dog in.... 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thaibeachlovers Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 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. 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 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.. 9 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post darrendsd Posted August 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 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 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
