It is on the 7th floor but Jomtien second road is directly under us. We have three options now. New window front and balcony door (quite expensive because it is a 4 meter front - even just for our bedroom), noise reducing curtains or shutters for the night. I did not sleep at this place yet just my wife arrived last week and she said the noise is quite loud. So we don't know yet which option we will take. Double glazed doors and windows cut noise down a lot. Plants on the balcony, a cauldron of boiling oil. Although having to close windows on cool nights is a shame.

sunnyboy2018 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Road/street noise is the most difficult to get used to because its so variable. Consider double glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, with so much choice in this country, why living above a road ?! Right, I have to park my car and walk 3 kilometres through rice paddies to get to mine....but jeez, it's quite!
