cookee68 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 they said If the matter is not resolved within a few weeks they will take the matter into their own hands, yeah a suicide bomber will be delivered to your hotel, I hate these people more by the minute, all over a letter, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony5 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Whoever filled the complaint, I sympathize with him/her. I wish I would file a report about my local Wat, that starts blaring their speakers from 5 in the morning. But nobody will listen to me anyway That's one of the reasons I'm moving to Pattaya Don't want to spoil it for you before you're even here, but in Pattaya they also have temples, and Mosques which I think they don't have in your neck of woods, and if you've heard them a few times every day you will pay money to live next door to a Wat.

monkeycountry Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The name of the general manager is Denis Martin. I take this as an indication (perhaps mistakenly) that the hotel is foreign owned. If that is the case I suspect (perhaps mistakenly) that the local thais would see them as an easy/soft target and do not fear the repercussions that would result from behaving in such a way towards a locally owned establishment. One that perhaps had "protection" or was "connected". If so it is just another example of them all joining in to give the "farang" a kicking. Good old fashioned xenophobia, not moslem fundamentalism.This is all conjecture on my part. No doubt one of the local (Phuket) TV contributors can refute or confirm my suspicions. I have no idea who owns the particular hotel, but many, if not most, major Thai owned hotels, have foreign managers. Noise complaints, and other complaints, are made all the time in Thailand, but I have not heard of hundreds of Thais forming a lynch mop in other similar cases. I am quite sure this is yet another case of muslims going berserk when Islam is questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker1 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Is it difficult this year to communicate with people in Bangkok from regions further afield ? Haven't been there for a few months ! "They advised that the resort CEO is currently in Bangkok and therefore could not comment any further on the matter." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinot Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The best way to handle this is to cut the wire of the offending loudspeaker. They'll come back and fix it, but just continue to cut the cord till they tired of fixing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a spokesperson to have a word with the head monk and be prepared to back it up with a withdrawal of alms and donations. Peace was soon restored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviss Geez Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It seems in this situation that a representative from the mosque could have made an appointment to meet and talk the matter over with the resort but nooooo, they get da mob and make threats.... oh, yea, a mosque. If you read the article then you'll note the hotel complained first so perhaps they should have approached the Mosque in the first instance? If you read the article then you'll note that the hotel claims not to have complained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrjlh Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wouldn't it be nice if Thailand was to pass an "all inclusive" noise law. One the states that no business, entertainment venue both private and commercial, market, Temple, Mosque, Church create or product noise exceeding "XX decibels recorded and heard at XX distance", at any time day or night. After the third violation that location will be banned from any further noise emitting activity. A special permit must be obtained and in effect for events that can not avoid exceeding the noise law. Such as special celebrations, fireworks displays etc. It's not prejudicial it does not single out any one group. It's fair and it respects everyone's rights to living peacefully. You may think it is far fetched but several communities in the US have this law in effect. I also read the some cities in Europe also followed suit. Not sure which ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konying Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Gee.... Muslims are not happy about people being NOT happy with the noise at 5 am. Total surprise Everyone should just shut up and put up with loud speakers blaring at 5am, because apparently in Mohammed's time they had loud speakers to make sure ALL hear the call for prey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I would support filing a complaint against anybody that thinks they have the right to wake me up at 5 am or keep me awake after 11 PM. that would include church bells, calls to prayer, loud music, firecrackers, backyard barking dogs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billphillips Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It seems to me that a simple solution would be to reduce the volume down to a reasonable level. Noise pollution laws exist in Thailand, use them. Irrespective of who or what is making the noise, it should not disturb others. I have stayed at this hotel / resort. It's upmarket and peaceful. I am sure that the owners and guests do not want the tranquility interrupted by amplified sound, whatever the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1Str8 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If I was the hotel I would send ten more letters, now talking about how they block my entrance, destroy business etc then call the cops and the military to remove the unwanted garbage from the front of my property.
