We have a bitumen/cement business about 100 metres away, they were good when we bought our land but now totallty disregard the laws, they work 7 days a week and on public holidays, noise levels are badlus now they are generating a heavy black cloud of smoke that has a very bad smell and drifts across our house as well as getting inside, This morning it was really bad and I currently have a heavy burning sensation in my chest and have trouble breathing, I did ride the qaud bike there and took pics then went to the office and told the girls they need to shut it down then took more pics from their veranda so they could watch me so it, I  rode home and about 5 minutes later it was shut down, I would not be surprised if it is carcenogenic, currently considering going to a lawyer to see if anything legal can be done and if we can take them for the problems it is causing me, will add a pic to show what I am talking about. This smoke drifts over our land/house and when there is no wind it settles on us

 

Update, wife went to speak to local authority and took all the pics, they have told the factory owneres theh have till the 17th of this month to start build a fence around the property and place filters to stop the smoke or they will be closed down. They have been promising both for over a year but never did it, apparently they are very wealthy and their family own a lot of land in our area.

Better start watching your back.  I'd be getting some hidden security cameras too.

Shame they dont have zoning laws in this country.....we got an open air rock theatre cum night club 150m away and about 3 nights a week theres a rock concert till 1 am, one night the leader of the band must have been the drummer, at least 3 times went into 20 to 30min drum solo over the course of the night, he drums like a stinking fish...

wife said the same thing actually, we do have several cameras around the house inside the fence as well as on the house itself plus we have a few good dogs that would have no problem causing bodily harm if they got over the fence

at our other house near the lake they would hold big parties till the early hours, music was that loud the windows would shake and the bass was set so high it would go through your body, unfortunately in Thailand there dont appear to up hold the laws as police are not inteeted and local govt officials take back handers. We are lucky that my wife did go higher than local govt I found out, they actually called her today and told her exactly what they would do and shutting them down is on top of their list,

Actually TH does, as the wife got the neighbors chicken farm shut down.  He started mid way through our house build, (without asking or getting permission) and was shut down before house was done, thankfully.

 

What a smell ... now lovely.  Funny thing is, we're going to have a coop soon, but only about 6 or 8 chickens, and kept clean.  He had 60+ and apparently never cleaned up.
