i don't mind noise from cars motor
bikes etc. You might here tho, They take the mufflers off, some "Farm Car" trucks built on special under carriages with a single cyl. diesel engine, of which our village has many do not use mufflers, but short pipes that have a 2 or 3 meter length of 3 inch pipe for a resonator tube that amplifies the sound of the cyl. firing into loud gun shot Bangs.
or for hiway trucks that have a 6 meter long straight pipe running to the back of the truck that does the same as the pipe on the farm cars, and you can hear them very well for 5 minutes going by our village at night and the hiway is about a Km from our house at the closest point.
Thailand has many types of pollution and most are bad and nothing is ever done about them, but noise pollution is one that just seems to go on forever and is not ever talked about or considered anything but Thai custom or tradition.
I do know one thing, if I had had any inkling of what it would be like here before I married my wife and moved here to the Moo Ban and spent most of my savings on building this house, I would have stayed in the states or moved back to Mexico.
But the house I had rented in the Moo Ban at CM was never anything like living around a bunch of regular Thai in a village, I liked it there, and they did not even allow the idiocy of Songkhran to go unchecked inside the walls of the community, altho I never saw many farang that lived there.
