  1. ...any idea where to buy these microphones in Bkk & surrounds? Maono cardioid, Sudotack cardioid condenser mic, Tkgou computer condenser.
  2. Rooster59. Beyond a shadow of doubt. Spurs supporter and spends time down Pattaya way...
  3. Point taken, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater just yet. Rooster's weekly dose is the nearest this site will get to contemporary, relevant, political and social commentary. At times he gets perilously close to the truth - behaviour which always carries significant risk in Thailand.
  4. An alternative which may not have been mentioned yet (I haven't looked past the OP and first few replies), is what I term a 'bunker' - in fact simply a sunken room either below your existing house or adjacent to it. This isn't as bizarre as it sounds and is quite easy and inexpensive to achieve. It solves a number of problems with 'neighbour's' noise, as these problems won't go away - they'll simply be replaced by other idiots - sorry I meant to say factors. Below ground solves the main problem of karaoke: i.e. bass notes - and of course the treble notes and ghastly drunken caterwauling, not to mention the unbelievably boring 'sameness' of the music itself. No amount of soundproofing above ground will completely fix this. The underground room/s can be made just as comfortable, practical and safe as any above ground construction. So, no need to move - just take advantage of the lax building regulations and non existent zoning laws causing your current grief and make them work for you. If you're still building, it's easy and interesting to incorporate a 'cellar' - if anyone asks - into your plans. It will also make a completely soundproof area if you ever want to have loud music of your own - doing what most locals very rarely ever do: consider other people for a few nanoseconds. And, no - it's not a dungeon, unless you have need of one!
  5. Credit for the Roostafarian effort this week: "Nothing short of the complete relaxation of ALL laws related to marijuana should be considered." The rest of the article was topical and relevant too. Another unreserved A+
  6. I saw little 'rambling' - but did hear the blissful sounds of large nails being hammered firmly on the head...
  7. "...in Nana one minute, jetting off to Dubai and Manila the next." Did a bit of that myself, when it was still fun.
  8. Need to include this procedure in the next Traditional Thai Culture induction course...
  9. Lucky there's no irritating music and foggy visuals, or the video would be a complete waste of time.
