[Travi]

We have a neighbour with Chicken, barking Dogs and noisy Birds. It drives me crazy.
Is this allowed, how are te rules?

How can we solve this problem?
Thanks for you advice.

unfortunately in most cases the only solution is to move to an other place and hope the new place will be better ...

good luck ...

You can do nothing but move elsewhere, this makes things complicated if you buy a place or sign up for a long lease. But if noisy Thai neighbours and their animals are making your life a misery, all you can do is move.

[scubascuba3]

Was it like that before you moved in?

[Travi]

We built a House. In the beginning it was ok. Later start to have problems with Dogs about 16. Always inside never let them outside. After some time Nongprue intervented. And now looks like the problems start again.

Talk/complain to the village chief 😁🤣

Move. You have no other choice. Be more selective on your next location. Do a few drive-by at night before you sign anything. Walk the neighborhood a few nights. I lived in a condo complex 17 years, no problems. Then a group of Vietnam sex workers moved next door and they kept their door open and made noise all day and night. Jurasic didn't get rid of them. My new place is so quiet at night one could hear a pin drop. Problem solved.

You just outlined the advantage of renting property over buying.  Personally i would never buy another condo as my permanent residence.  Too many noisy renters and poor juristic control.

It's just matter of luck. Where I moved to was absolutely quiet, but after a week a house renovation began and then 2nd house,3rd and 4th. It is about 6 months now, noise, dust and workers trucks blocking the soy. 
amazing !!! I have no lease and I can move out at anytime, but at least very quiet evenings.

Didn’t think of reporting them to Immigration and/or Labour Department for illegal entry/work?

Rules🤗? Laws🤣? 

Noise laws are from the 50s or 60s. No police would interfere.

However, talking to you neighbor in a low, not agitating, aggressive voice and manner will help. Take the village's head man with you.

Alpha males don't tolerate this sort of stuff. Fifteen seconds after the first disturbance commenced, you should have been in their face doing a Jack Nicholson impersonation - they would have moved.

Please tell me you didn't actually use dinosaurs as a noisy neighbor remedy.

Seems overly brutal to me.

House

[mikebell]

My next door neighbours are Swedish and, in the past, were guilty of noisy drunken parties long into the night (complete with cackling bar girls.)  I complained to the Thai owner of my house (a rich influencer locally.)  As proof I sent him recordings made at 1am/2am/3am.  The police raided it on the holiest night of the Buddhist calendar.  They have been much more considerate since.

Did you try to adress your problem to Him directly

Thanks for you advice.

1) I've had the same kind of neighbor – and even with a monkey screaming all day for a female to mate with...🙉 – I got used to it and even missed the monkey-sound after it died...😉

 

2) To my knowledge, no useful rules.
("Always look on the bright side of life", and be happy that you are not neighbor to a late open karaoke bar...)

 

3) Often mentioned advice is to move. If you own your home, get a Thai to politely talk with the neighbor – or just have some patience as me in #1.

No noisy music from the local temple?strange

You were envious not being invited?

At 82, I've realised how stupid drinking yourself into a coma is + I've had my fill of screeching bargirls.

Several times.  I understand the need for alcohol if cooped up on a dry site for weeks.  My grouse was his refusal to consider those people with normal jobs and those with young children.

[bkk6060]

Move. 

Rent, never buy.

Daily life in Thailand among thais is noisy. Either you cope with it, or you move to a fenced moban with strict rules and who also practice their rules.

You want to express that "who was first" got more rights? Or power? 

[ikke1959]

I have neighbours too who can't talk normally.. A woman is screaming when is talks and her kid is doing the same.. Of course they follow the example.. We can take part in the conversation, so that is what I do I scream too and sometimes I answer with the bit of Thai I know in the garden so that they can hear me and that will solve the problem for a few days.... So when you are sick of it, just do the same

Neighbours with barking dogs are a common problem in Thailand.

If you live next to them perhaps one of the various electronic barking control devices would solve the problem.

Many are available online and worth a try to maintain sanity.
