Residents of a Bangkok condo are fed up with noisy tourists disrupting their once tranquil home. Foreign renters have made loud parties, the smell of cannabis, and pool rule-breaking common, sparking frustration among long-term residents.

 

The problem was highlighted on popular Facebook page Drama-addict, which featured a resident's plea. "My condo faces daily rental issues too," the post lamented, noting how tourists disrespect community rules.

 

A key concern is the round-the-clock pool partying, with cannabis openly smoked, making others uncomfortable. Security has been undermined by key cards hidden in a cabinet near the garage, enabling easy access for short-term renters.

 

 

Despite a face scanner installed last year, key cards are still in use. "This undermines security," a resident said, highlighting the condo's reluctance to abandon key cards for convenience.

 

Frustrated residents have sought help from police and local offices, but have seen no action. "We've complained for a year, but nothing's changed," one resident said, annoyed by bureaucracy.

 

Residents are urging the government to enforce stricter regulations against short-term rentals. Until then, the plight with disruptive tourists continues, reported The Thaiger.
