scorecard Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Build a nice size granny flat 100m away from the main house and say you want to give the family more space in the main house. But beware the family don't quickly migrate to the granny flat... in which cse build another granny flat a further 100m away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvorLott Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 My advice would be to tell the GF you want to be alone and 'build your own nest' s it were. cite factors such as wanting independence, freedom, peace and quiet and so on and see what happens.

neeray Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It must be awesome, almost orgasmic, very pleasant and rewarding in bed each night with your gf. Like, I mean, that's probably the only time that the family home is quiet (except for snoring and people breaking wind in their sleep). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to change so you need to learn to live with it. Perhaps you can go to loud isaan music festivals and sit near the speakers, then when your hearing is damaged you can wear a hearing aid with a volume knob ????

Dumbastheycome Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yes. It is an Isaan thing. Actually quite an Asian thing. Not everywhere but a common feature of conversational volume. Apart from that opinion input I would suggest you need to learn to tolerate it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I get "gin khao" shouted at me whenever certain family members are sitting down to eat their bowl of cold grey slop, but they know I won't eat it so just quickly ask them what it is and if they're enjoying it before going back to my hammock. I think they are just being nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I have a slight hearing problem from noise damage many years ago. I prefer when people speak loud to me. My home is very quiet.
