Your house is my house!

Fences, locked gates, and 9 medium to moderately large barking dogs takes care of that on our property.
Nothing like a pack of dogs with bared teeth to say, "No - you're not welcome to wander onto the property uninvited." 

"Your dogs may bite someone!!!"

You have to climb over a fence with is 6 feet high and either topped with barbed wire or spikes.  Anyone making onto the property are trespassing, and doing so at their own risk.

There is a door bell. You can ring it.

Nope - they stand in front of the front gate and yell.  Not gonna hear anything other than barking dogs to give us a clue that someone who doesn't know how to push one of the two clearly marked doorbells at the front gate is standing at the front gate yelling where we can't hear them.

Maybe they've been too busy borrowing his wife.

Yes, sure, but it feels silly to have to lock your door while you're at home.

Why?  You're probably perceived as a "Rich Farang."  Ever hear of "Home Invasion."  I've lived here long enough to have seem multiple instances where farang end up dead and buried somewhere in the jungle after their home is robbed. It does happen.

I have given up, and also given up everything I have made to make things easier, ans as well the routines I established at the farm. They will not adopt or change "their way" of doing things. Even 2 hours works takes my way, takes them a whole day if lucky.

I guess this is somehow why they do it the way they do it. They spent a day chatting with each other and also doing a little work at the same time.

And obviously you see the same wall, just the other side of it. Do you like that view?

Absolutely - the trees, shrubs, and flowers boarding the wall are beautiful!  Mountains and jungle in the background.  Wonderful view!

With breaks for snacking, obviously.

A friend in Mexico used to tell me, "My house is your house, my car is your car, my wife is your boss."

 

My father had the habit of walking into people's houses unannounced and without knocking. It made the whole family cringe, but he always just said, "It's okay, they don't mind."

These kinds of posts always make me laugh.

 

I'm guessing the OP lives with a Thai partner.

 

Instead of running off to his computer to whinge to prople that can fo nothing, why not speak to his Thai partner?

 

It's quite simple.

Yeah 3m walls here and video door bell on the gate.

 

Only those that have permission enter.

Living in a self built prison. Not my idea of fun. Each and to their own.

One reaps what they sow.

 

Not only no but Fuc- no

I agree with your second sentence. 

 

I live in a village. I get on well with my in laws, all 50 or so of them, and the neighbours. 

 

My wife set the house rules with regards to people walking in, with input from me. The garden gate is always open. Visitors wait prior to entering the house. 

 

It's great. I love my surroundings.

Putting a lock on the gate hardly makes your home a prison.

Totally unnecessary.

Nobody comes into my GF's house without calling first, or into my condo without knocking.

 

It may be too late for the OP to set boundaries, unless he starts locking doors.

If they've borrowed the car, they've had permission. What's wrong with that?
