They've fixed the road, so the only things plunging into the pond are the poachers at night.

Re: loud music at night
thanks! If police or others are not responsive, I guess the only solution is to install speakers ourselves, play louder music which scares away the tens of customers till the place is dead? If they can make noise, we probably can too?

Re: loud music at night
How about leaving Thailand? That whould be a good option for everyone. Back in good old US or Europe you can live in silence and sue every bod that disturbes you

Re: loud music at night
I agree with Homer... When returning to HH my bag will weigh nearly 30kg, but the all-important ear-plugs from my workplace will fill 1 pocket in my jacket..those things are my salvation!

Didn't people use candle wax in the old days? I guess the problem is getting it out.

Re: loud music at night
I agree with the reply but in any event I doubt the proposed solution would work. The Thais imo have a far different view regarding noise pollution than westernersjohnnyk wrote:Scaring away customers will violate rule #1 of living in Thailand:timdg wrote:thanks!

Re: loud music at night
it is not really a rice bowl, this place attracts 10 of thai hiso like people sitting in the garden next to us, it is more like a gold bowl.
additionally we own this place from before when they start that pub there, it is not that we came in and ask them to change what they are doing.

Someone is making money from it and you propose getting in the way and driving their customers away.

That's one of the big problems with owning property here... no zoning laws. You can buy a home in a quiet place (other than the dogs which are everywhere) and anything can open up next door because there are no laws separating residential living areas from business areas (as there are in most western countries).
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Re: loud music at night
I'm probably on my own, but to me this randomness is fascinating and one of the attractions here. I guess that I'm fortunate in that I can sleep through most noise.

Like my wife, you are very lucky.I can sleep through most noise.
I am a very light sleeper with very acute hearing. Without earplugs I think a lizard walking on the wall would wake me up... Needless to say, the number of good night's sleep I've had in the last 10 years can be counted on my fingers.

Re: loud music at night
When a party gets loud, get a bottle and ask if you can join in. Likely you'll be welcomed and the Thais will say to each other, "Somchai, they're not all assholes!"
