Loud music and recent events

Featured Replies

Something that I admittedly was not prepared for when I came to Thailand, and something due to which I will leave Thailand next spring, is the local idea of what counts as festive "music." It's just loud bass, a synthesized beat, and maybe either lyrics or cartoon sound effects, on repeat, for hours. I have come to know it and the sound of street dogs barking as the bane of my time here. 

 

I don't know why, but the bass just goes right into my guts and drives me nuts. And the knowledge that there are no lyrics -- that it's just noise for the sake of noise -- means I can't even find a reason to acknowledge its worth as music. From the bottom of my heart, I hate it. Intensely.

 

We are all aware of the sad passing of HRH the QM, and have probably all heard about the rules issued by the government. The rules of course do not apply to citizens in their respective households, but even so... have any of you tried to use recent events as an excuse to tell your neighbors to turn down the volume on their "music?"
