Major Major Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Last night slap bang in the middle of Maenam beach, a new bar opened playing loud "rave" music till 3am. The bar is surrounded by residential houses. They cannot possibly have a license for this. It totally destroys the peace and serenity of the beach. This is not Chaweng. Did anyone else hear it and inconvenienced by it? I will be making a complaint but the more objectors the better. I have no idea how often they intend to do this but one more time is bad enough. I fear the worst as they have set up tables and chairs outside their bar. Nobody in the immediate area could have got any sleep until it stopped. I believe it is Thai owned so as a faring I didn't want to address the issue with them directly last night for obvious reasons.

BigC Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Look for some local Thais to see of they are bothered by this noise They might be able to arrange things I agree that chaw eng has always been the party part of the island so I cannot sympathies with people to chewang and complain as it has always been a party part of town but for people that have escaped to mana For peace an quiet I do sympathize as this is not the best way to promote business in Samui By a peace full house away from noise with no guarantee that a rave can park next to you in the future You should try ma'am police station if they are illegal then the police shall be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You have my sympathy. A similar thing happened near me a while ago. You might need for it to happen more than once before you get anywhere. Once could be 'opening night/birthday etc. As Big C suggests, local Thais. The older the better, especially if they have lived in the area all of their life. Also Thais that have 'power/money, that helps. Local hotels. Talk to the GM's/owners. The local hotels are likely to loose business if it happens on a regular basis. Here, the more stars the hotel has - the better. When it happened near me, I started writing to various travel agents that represented the hotels. A few comments on hotel review sites also increases pressure/involvement on the hotels. (The internet is wonderful for this. If it is on the internet - it must be true!) I found that because I could not sleep, I had lots of time to write/complain to people! Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Maenam, the new Chawang.... oh no! Lucky for me I am out of ear shot of the beach areas, but sounds pretty close to Santi Buri, if close to Sea One. .... ? I bet Santi Buri will have some thing to say about it, if it continues.... A few nights ago, there was an almighty bang of fireworks, near my place, which really pissed off everyone in the area at 1.15 am.... At first the Thai's blamed the Burmese camp next door, but it was not them (usually quiet as church mice) .... It turned out that it was Russians, living in the neighbourhood..... I think words have been said to the landlady of the rented house, by some influential Thais in the area.... So that can (we hope work).... time will tell...

Ah ok, i'm 300/400 metres towards to the right....thankfully. Like Samuijimmy said I doubt Santiburi would put up with that for too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
