dave2 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 this morning i had a wander from thaphae gate to mikes burgers and headed towards the flea market at prince royals college and on the way i saw a notice written today on this building about 300 yards past the spice on the left : ( i thought it had all gone quiet down there ... maybe not ? dave2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I kind of wonder why these signs are in English as I'm pretty sure the owners of Spicy (or whatever it is called now) are Thai as well as the guy who is crusading against it.

slapout Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Maybe its directed at the Jacks Van crowd. I notice they are back in operation in that area. Clean up time is around 0700. Its ironic the closing times being enforced and this little operation continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaideal Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Not ironic when you consider someone's daughter needs new braces and a new iPhone. Where's there's a den of trouble, there's $$ to be had. Same old. I feel sorry for htese people. However I would think they'd make their point much more clear getting the statments up in Thai and trying to unite the local citizens, and even delivering aletter like this to parties where ownership actually lies. This does raise the Farang community's consciousness to the issues, but what effect will we have ? In addition, some of the merry-makers may be English speaking, but I'd imagine the majority are just passing through. So..... I feel for them. Best of luck.

Loaded Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The residents know the Thai people responsible for the noise are police. Spicy's is owned by them and for sure Jack's van wouldn't be allowed to stay open late without a major part of its revenue heading that way as well. So, there's no point complaining to the police. Hence, the local residents desperate attempt to persuade farang customers to avoid these places. It wouldn't surprise me if one of these businesses burns down soon.

mcgriffith Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The building in question is 300 yards past Spice on the left (north) side of Chang Moi Rd. No where near Jackie's Van, etc. It sounds like it's down in the area near Veerachai Courts. Late night business, catering to farang, way down there?

NancyL Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Having lived in that neighborhood, I'd say it's an accurate characterization of what happens every night and the sign is directed toward the noisemakers. However, I doubt any of them are in any condition to read it at the time they're making the noise. Plus, it's written in fairly good English, perhaps beyond the reading comprehension level of many of the troublemakers. Yeah, there was nothing quite like getting up every morning and picking up the litter in front of our house and hosing down the areas of our porch that smelled of urine. Usually Hubby was up every morning around 4:30 - 5 am when these people were returning home. They often parked their motorcycles right in front of our home and the noise was impossible to ignore as they staggered to their motorcycles, having loud conversations with new "friends" as they returned to whereever they came from to go these dives.

DiamondKing Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Waste of a good piece of cardboard and directed totally at the wrong people Its a business owned by Thais, run by thais and its thais who have the full responsibility of it and any consequences that come of it, but as always the best scenario is to blame the farang when in actuality its just thais causing problems for other thais. I feel for the residents but they really have no chance when you consider who owns and runs that establishement, if it were me I would be shopping for some double glazing cause its going to be a long term problem that is not going away anytime soon.

One of my buddies lives down there and says that this fellow has complained to the police about several neighborhood restaurant/bars near Veerachai Court that cater to expats and make very little noise. I visit him frequntly in the late evening and they seem pretty low key to me. Edited January 16, 2012 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double glazing was definitely the answer for our bedroom window, but there was just something wrong about having to sleep with the windows closed and airconditioning on 12 months of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 That is true, but when I leave late in the evening everyone seems to be going home. Maybe the German owned place nearby gets wilder later at night though. It seems more like a bar than a restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the price one have to pay when living in a tourist area. Yes, and we had the freedom to move when our lease expired. The Thai people who have lived in the area for several generations and own homes don't have that freedom and many of them don't have the funds to install double glazed windows and run air conditioners year-round. Chang Moi isn't Loi Kroh and the majority of the residents are the sort of people mentioned in the sign on the building -- old people, children, working people -- people who have to go to sleep early and get up early.

millwall_fan Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The tide is slowly turning in Chiang Mai -and that includes Loi Kroh Rd. Late night rowdy bars are being targetted- by Thais. It may take some time before certain er...vested interests, understand this, but it is changing. hopefully street massage chairs will be next.

Seems to add life to the street, and a good place to sit and watch the street theatre for a small peice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am *SO* tempted to cheerfully say "Welcome to Thailand!" to a Thai person complaining about late night noise. (or other common Farang gripes; like police, work being completed on time and on spec, etc. ) Edited January 18, 2012 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK Its the loud farangs fault for not being to control themselves when drunk. Some Farangs on vacation seem impervious to things around them and immune to the law. Walking down the street smoking weed, throwing beer bottles, stopping traffic while crossing the street cause their tired of waiting, grabbing girls assuming they are all prostitutes, yelling at the top of their lungs cause they're free and in Thailand. Basicly behavior of a freshly released primate in general. Oh yeah , Thais do the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
