Actually thais seem to be somewhat indifferent to loud noise. ......

Please forgive me if a perform any political correctness faux pas, but ....

I feel it's a bit of the "Mai pen rai" in action. There is nothing that can be done, so they have long been able to simply accept and ignore it.

I also believe that many can focus very narrowly. Often, there will be 3 or 4 sources blasting away around the hood. One will be Issan, another morlam, another pop and then there's a TV! Unfortunately, I can't focus tightly enough and the mixture makes me nuts.

I can't "fix" others, so I am left with adjusting myself.

My solution was premium windows and doors. I batten down the hatches, crank up the fans, and most of the problem is gone!

At night, when the base riffs sometime resonate through, I add a couple memory-foam earplugs!

Welcome to Thailand!
