backdrifts22 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hello, I've recently moved into some condos and every morning before 5am there's roosters going mental in two workers camps beside me.It's driving me up the wall, to the point that I've had to use sleeping pills to get to sleep which leave me lethargic the next day. What can be done about this? I'm sure these something In Thailand called the Home farm act, which can't help me here, can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks [emoji120] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Only 5AM? Ours fire up with the Wat at 4.30. Don't even bother trying to do anything about them, nothing will happen. Rest assured that you will get used to them or simply adjust your day, we get up at 4.30 anyway :) Rather than pills try earplugs, they won't leave you drowsy.

puukao Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My work permit does cover "Possessed Roosters" 10,000 baht per ritual... best money you will ever spend... contact my secretary for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it also work on noisy motorcycles at 1AM? Actually the 90o bend and bus-stop are quite effective, another errant rider was collected on Sunday morning, only a broken leg this time.

Once, in 1964, I could only handle 2 roosters.......it almost killed me!!!! took me 11 years to recover. My work permit only covers motorcycles after 2 a.m. For you, special price......................9,999 baht per ritual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Our roosters have no schedule. Just as likely to hear them at 10 PM, 2 AM, or lunch time, but they do make more noise at dawn. My advice, adapt to the noise. I did and now I don't care at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get used to them, I had a similar issue at a house a few years ago and it caused me to move out after 6 months. Ear plugs do nowt, it's too high pitched.

Kwasaki Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Only a few choices the obvious one is find another suitable place that's quiet. You could hire a sniper but the workers will replace them. You could wait until you go out of you mind and get hospitalized or deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did and now I don't care at all.I'm used to living near noise, I work on oil rigs with tannoys going off all night, I can deal with this. The roosters however is a different story, they drive me totally crazy. This is inner city living, I shouldn't have to put up with this, I'm sure there's something called the home farm act, which legislates this.

canuckamuck Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The best solution to intermittent noise is constant white noise. I like to have a fan running for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Gravy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Get one yourself (rooster) and tell the neighbours that it has bird flu and all of the Chickens must be destroyed. You could also tell them that there is waiting period of a year before you can get another. That will give you enough time to find a new home.

wow64 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Go out back and tell them to keep the noise down. If they don't go back the next day and shoot the Rooster. Then say sorry and tell them you are drunk.. acceptable excuse to kill anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same repetitive yac all day long.....a loud yack, followed by a less loud one followed by a less loud one...3 in a row, over and over again.

Hayduke Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The rooster in question is not possessed. From your description it is obviously a very normal rooster exhibiting very normal rooster behavior. Now if this rooster were quiet at 0500 it would be a certain sign of demonic possession. Your very life would have been in jeopardy and swift, decisive action would have been required. Relax, you got off easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) A "friend of mine" discovered that insect spray is effective when given in high doses to a rooster cornered outside near his bedroom window, where it would wake up the owner between 3 and 5am every morning. This friend had to get up at 6am and go face up to 100 university students a day in the classroom. The lack of sleep was beginning to jeopardizing his job and health. Thus, the spray scheme was hatched in the middle of one night during a crazed moment of exasperation, and no shotgun or grenade at hand. Subsequently, the duration of time from the spray application to final death throes was mercifully very short, although the animal did not deserve mercy. It was reported that this was the first time this friend had ever intentionally killed a non-insect, and it was done without the least trace of remorse.

arithai12 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Welcome to the club. One thing I did and which helps considerably was to change the window frame and install thicker glass, in the bedroom. But then it's my condo, not a rental.

Gecko123 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Talk to condo management. Offer them 400 baht if they can resolve problem. (200 baht for condo rep, 200 baht for construction workers to kill and eat the chickens.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What can be done about this? A good question indeed. I might suggest that you make some effort to control your conscious mind. It is not the rooster that is the problem, merely your reaction to it. look at the Thais, one never sees them bothered by a natural occurrence such as that.
