Popular Post webfact Posted January 19 Popular Post Share Posted January 19 Phuket’s much-loved entertainment hotspot Cafe Del Mar had a brush with the Kamala police recently over an issue of noise pollution disturbing residents. This internationally known beach club found itself in hot water when the Kamala police declared that the volume of their music was exceeding acceptable levels. This was causing considerable disruption to the peaceful existence of the locals residing in the adjacent area. The Superintendent of Kamala Police Station, Police Colonel Somsak Thongkliang, and police inspector Pol. Lt. Thammarat Pensri, went to the venue around 1pm on the said day. Accompanying them was Phiphob Sudkhao, the District Secretary of Kathu Province, and officials from the Kathu District Public Health office. Upon arrival, it was divulged to the venue’s manager that the establishment had overstepped the boundaries laid down by Section 25 of the Public Health Act B.E. 2535. This law specifically speaks against creating nuisances and unacceptably disrupting peace. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Cafe del Mar.

ikke1959 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 3 days there was a party of a ordination of a monk ... There was so much noise and music in that temple more than 5 km away that we had to raise the sound of our television as it looked like they near our house to party. Phetcharat hospital was near the party scene and it is a shame that people don't have the brains that so loud music not only is giving eardamage, but how about patients in a hospital.. and nobody will do anything about it. This Saturday there is a Likae show planned in a temple and it will be the same again and than there is a temple nearby a 9 day party .... Complaining is not done and Thais complain but don't inform the officials... There should be checking by the police and they always turn on the volume more after 10 pm instead of playing softer.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 A resolution was reached whereby the music would be kept at an acceptable level henceforth. This will be monitored over the next week. Then back to normal, crank up the volume? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 When I lived on Samui years ago I had a house on the side of the hill across the bay from The Ark Bar. They were such an incredible nuisance with huge speakers facing out towards the sea and the volume turned up so loud that my sliding glass doors would shake for hours and hours during the evening. The authorities never had any interest in addressing it. It was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Lowf Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Well, they seemingly got away with a full-on party during the Covid lockdown and so this is barely worth a moment's worry for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
