Tropicalevo Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Sorry Captain you seem to be on your own. With the wind direction as it is, all is quiet here in Plai Laem (At night anyway - loads of drilling/cement trucks/tile cutting during the day.) We probably won't hear the boom boom noises until the wind comes from the west.

Actually also many other people in the direct neighbourhood suffer, just not all of them post here Since wind will change to South-East in the next weeks, for a few months, I guess/hope you wont be affected of that.

Beardog Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Glad I ran upon this topic. I am coming into Samui- Koh Phangan & was wondering where the parties are. I am only 58 & still enjoy the full moon parties & rave music. Hell from the sounds of it they can't hold a candle to the Tahoe parties I been to 2-3 days not just a night. Living in Bang Saray it is so dead that I always enjoy hitting the Islands for some fun . As a way of life not but I know where not to stay around after we are done partying. Besides I still owe my girlfriend for the 2 days of hell in Buriam where the music never stopped (for the family funeral) And the music was hateful. Sooooo boring & deafening kinda like Carly Simon or the carpenters at 5000 watts. Quite a few more speakers than the sound stage pictured. At least I can be sure it will be rave-trance maybe some rock & metal. I always try to book places to stay out of the way of the mega sound. I do feel for anyone living where the noise is a regular event. I don't care what I have invested I would get a quieter area to live. Life to short to be bummed out in Thailand for sure.

BigC Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 You could use the noise as a profit Don't open a hotel open a club and use the music and DJ's from surrounding clubs Maybe they shall get pissed off and put in sound proof glass though Seriously, You have to accept the way it is Either push the owners to put sound proof glass in or do what they do when they build houses near airports in England So unfortunately with no government hand outs like back home Maybe could sound proof your own houses hotels extra On the plus side you shall never be bothered by any noise again In fact something worth considering when building anywhere As this being thailand never know what is going to be next door Anyone know where I can get or look at sound proof glass???

BigC Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 No I am not saying that I am saying it is what it is There is the law correct but unfortunately the law has not been a great success with drowning out the noise and cause problems with local people surrounding I know it is wrong but we can all moan about it which is fine as long as people a suggest solutions to the problem You have a few options either keep calling the police constantly Then if they cannot fix the problem then pay a laywer to take the club to court and which the owner shall probably pay a fine then it would start all over again The. Even if you do win what's to stop another bar opening up then another one I am not talking rubbish I am opening suggestions I know in a western world we would not have to worry about this actually that is not true as to the houses that surrounds airports and yet they build more terminals Look either can put up with it and shut up as there is no point in complaining unless one can come up with a solution. Or take steps to protect your own property or call the police Problem is that beach land is very attractive for tourists so I predict that all land close to the beach could be a threat to noise pollution at some point I am not saying anyone should do anything I am just suggesting and saying that it is something that I might look into myself for future buildings. Bedrooms only Yes I was talking rubbish about having a party in your garden I was taking the piss But as for sound proof bedrooms I don't know how expensive it would be or how possible but worth having a look into it Don't get me wrong I reckon there should be noise restrictions also but I am a one man army what can I do I don't have the time to make complaints day after day I would like to see night clubs specially ones in residential areas have sound proof walls but trying to get other people to do the right thing can be a struggle I would rather protect myself for now And from any future noisy b@@@@@ds You could use the noise as a profit Don't open a hotel open a club and use the music and DJ's from surrounding clubs Maybe they shall get pissed off and put in sound proof glass though Seriously, You have to accept the way it is Either push the owners to put sound proof glass in or do what they do when they build houses near airports in England So unfortunately with no government hand outs like back home Maybe could sound proof your own houses hotels extra On the plus side you shall never be bothered by any noise again In fact something worth considering when building anywhere As this being thailand never know what is going to be next door Anyone know where I can get or look at sound proof glass???

Post the co-ordinates and then we can guess the name of the place and do a name a shame to see if we can help. Answer is simple but not clever Just burn these places down If cannot do that then just FYI he has many partners and other clubs so if he is locked away in the North Pole it won't make a difference Sorry I would if I was the one in the noise firing line I would try to complain but through the right people You must push this into him putting in sound proof glass I do agree if one can spend multiple millions to put up a club and wants to live in samui low key Then he could start with making his Neibours happy not only is it good manors but it might help him in the future stop some grass coming out and finding a reason to mess with him As even if he beats the charges and comes back he still would have lost allot of time and money which is an in convince so If he does beat the charge I would hope he keeps his head down and try's to win back popularity amongst his neighbours I was once told to never make trouble on my own door step That way if people still come out and slag him off for his so called past then they have no reason and if he gets add ended then he has the right I do agree something should be done about the noise specially if they can afford it Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) In Mexico it's the "oompah oompah" music. Same complaining by USA retirees on the forums there. There are sacrifices you make living close to civilization plus leaving your own culture, where the boundaries between human beings, whether physical or aural, are different. Get used to it. If you can't live with that, I've got some riverfront property on the Yukon River you might consider, with only a four-hour dogsled ride into the next village. The only downside to that, is that you have to put up with your howling huskies on full moon nights vs. the Full Moon parties at your place. Life's a beach, ain't it?

Yes it is difficult line to tread on one hand we come here for the freedom At the same time those freedoms can work against you In some cases where breaking the rules and it helping in your favour is great but when someone else breaks the laws against your favour then it is a bit of karma biting Sometimes starting a business or building a house is like spinning a wheel as to how your lifestyle shall turn out I could imagine hay some of these houses and villas would cost about 100 times more in England or your own country Planning permission would not be allowed for nearly all these buildings in some places Bribes are out of the question So the price if living around paradise which is affordable is the problems that are on here Also political instability can hurt businesses, baht strengthening we along extra So nothing is full proof just have to hit and hope As for the noise I would suggest sending out leaflets for a meeting Have a meeting If there are some influential people at that meeting then push for another meeting and ask for the mayor to come or someone in authority Maybe you can find a soliton that suites everybody Thailand is famous for clearing problems Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi Was passing through Banrak last night and too be honest I am not suprised the neighbours complain that is just too loud and too close to residential property If they had glass walls up stairs then as least it might cut the noise down towards the sea I hope the owner comes back so he can do something about it Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marstons Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 why would they go to the expense of putting in double glazing and sound proofing when they don't have to, he wants an open beach club feel. Sufficient payments to the BIB cover that. You can spend all night calling the police in Samui to complain there will not be a response. Seriously tree ear plugs from Home Pro do cut out a lot of noise, i take them every where and used them in Samui. Shaped like a fir tree and orange hence the name. Failing that do as I did and leave, for me it was the the Lake parties. No other way unfortunately to escape it and the owner of the place in question does have an awful lot of money to fight any case against him, but as everybody should know it would not get to that. Do feel for people having to put up with it, usually all base and speakers facing outwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do feel for people having to put up with it, usually all base and speakers facing outwards. I understand what u are saying but surly if these bar owners have money to pay police then putting up some glass walls on each side of the building would be pea nuts and might cut costs to old bill down At least sound club he noise is contained Also the more they keep the noise in the less attention it shall attract from the people they don't want sniffing round Just baffles me that with all this money flying about why they can't putting a lifting extra in their budget to keep their neighbour happy When I first read this people were happy that the owner was arrested and that was mainly due to the noise generated If he wants to support or the tolerance of his neighbours that a clever tactic would be to keep them on side Or there could me more snakes in the grasses which ain't good for business Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainS Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Seems we have to blame someone else. Dreamers wasnt very loud last night, I was even able to sleep while the music still playing.

CaptainS Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Update about Dreamers: The last 2-3 weeks have been really nice, the only loud party was at Songkran. Sometimes they annouced parties but few people showed up, so they didnt play loud or late at night (different to before, thanks for that )Also the Dreamers parking across the road is now closed, would be nice if this story comes to an end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
