Crazy lady living upstairs

Featured Replies

You need to think this logically ...

You cannot contact her daughters school .... this is silly & may get you in more trouble, it's got nothing to do with the daughter or her school. What if you contact the school and mum finds out and files a complaint against you for harassment. It could happen .....

Also, the police are not interested in your minor complaint about noise ... you have already told them whats going on so they have come and investigated as required. They will follow up if they think it is needed.

If you go annoying them every time the noise happens they will get pretty pissed of with you .... just leave it at the one complaint.

There are 2 options .... Option 1 : You complain to the building body management, show them a pic of the mess outside, scribble in your note pad when the noise occurs or whatever .... Now if they feel there is an issue they will investigate and sort it out the thai way .... they will talk to the ' crazy lady ' if they think its needed.

Option 2 : move.

Seriously , this is Thailand , not the place where you can just complain to someone and everyone will jump up and down and go solve the problem ... ITS ONLY YOUR PROBLEM ... NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO MAKE IT THERE PROBLEM , BUT THATS WHAT YOUR ASKING. good luck. wai2.gif

I'm with other posters, you need to move.

I've never lived in an apartment in Thailand but I'm guessing as long as she is paying rent she won't be evicted.

The OP said her husband owned the apartment.

Oops.

This has gone on for years and you still live there. save your sanity and just move.

there is another option, i am from chicago, back there the answer to this problem is what they call a "hersey bar contract" . its cheap, causes no lasting damage and it works. if you gotta ask what is that ? well. ... maybe its not for you. :-)

I woke up this morning feeling relaxed and I was able to think about the events that occurred yesterday. Taking everything into consideration and whilst reading everyone's comments and advice I agree that I should not bother the police again (unless absolute necessary). I will meet with the condo committee next week and discuss the situation.

I won't contact the school. This would be the wrong thing to do. I'm sure the school can see there is a problem. It's obvious that this poor girl is having a really rough time. She goes to a international school and any teacher would see the signs.

I hope that the father gets involved. As the owner of the apartment, he would have to be contacted by the building management.

Every time she has a flip out slash the tyres on her car, or just go punch her directly in the face.

"directly in the face" hahahah! I'm having fun saying this in several different accents.

"Punch her d'rectly in the face sir".

*I'm not actually advocating punching any particular person in the face.

You rmanagement must have rules against noise etc etc get the thai people to do the complaining, i'm sure they will boot her out

if it works in my so called secure complex then all good for you.

.....sounds like she is crying out for attention......or help....

....at least 2 daughters.....husband gone.....???

...money but no love or companionship.....???

....in her 40's is not too old....

...unless there is more to the story....

sounds like there is more to the story, an alcoholic nutter

Don't give in and move. Stay and fight for your rights. Eventually you will win. It may cost some tea money. How much depends on how much you want to stay.

Approach the condo management to start a petition and put it on the lift wall for others to sign.

Move

hard to believe Thai-visa would allow slander on their website. big no no in Thailand

Look for a small house to rent, preferably a detached one. That way you avoid the risks of communal living in apartments and condos that are causing you so much stress. I did and have never looked back.

An update: the lady has been almost silent for the past 9 days. She is hone as we have seen her on a number of occasions. Her car is now parked in the multi-storey car park, rather than the front of the condo as it was before.

Other residents report the same. No disturbance. They seem to agree that she was shocked by the events that took place 9 days ago which forced her to flee.

It's too soon to say, however I hope recent events have had a positive effect on her. Having her arrested or kicked out wouldn't have been good for the daughter who clearly cares about her mother, hence the message telling her to run away when we were in the lobby with the police.

Cannot believe you have put up with this for so long

I would have left years ago

We had a pit bull ove into our condo and owner left it in back of truck all day and night

Barking all day and night

After two months no one would stand up to him besides me ..

We said eff it and moved

Useless owner of our unit is still sitting on an empty unit

and no we are not the only ones to have moved out
