Noise

[CallumWK]

In my neighborhood, a shooting range was opened a few months ago, catering to the buses with Chinese tourist.

In itself not a problem you will say, but the shooting range is constructed in corrugated steel, seemingly without any sound insulation, as every shot can be heard about 1 km away. Sound is all day as if they drop such a steel sheet from a height.

Would you think this is allowed, and where I should be to file a complaint?

The answer obviously should not be with my local government office, since they will be who issued the license and got the kickbacks.

File as many as you like. They will all be stamped as dgaf.

If it’s happening then it’s most likely being let allowed. Filing complaints will most likely be just as annoying to those receiving the complaints as the noise is to you.

Are you suggesting that he shouldn't complain?

Do you have any Thai neighbors to talk to? What do they think?

Most likely they will know what to do and who to talk to.

I’m suggesting what good will it do to complain given that everyone in the area knows about it, every aunt uncle cop and the dead grandparents of the phuyaiban and neighboring villages.

As explained in the OP, that probably should be the last place I consider, because it are these people that granted the license.

 

Complaint should be made outside the local government, but I don't know which department would be interested in this.

Do you really think that’s a good idea? This would most definitely result in an unwanted reciprocation, an outsider making waves on a locals business venture probably wouldn’t result very well while trying to live in a non-bothersome environment. Unless of course you can do it 100% anonymously, but then again that wouldn’t fly if you’re the only farang in the area.
