webfact Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Pattaya: Elderly Belgian man dies after argument with neighbors over noise from his pump Picture: 77kaoded Nong Prue police and Sawang Boriboon rescue services found a 65 year old Belgian man dead by his pool yesterday evening. It was at AD House complex in Khao Talo. The owner of house number 63/39 was Willem B. His body was taken away to Bang Lamung Hospital. 77kaoded reported that before the body was found the police had been contacted after a dispute between neighbors over noise coming from the pump. The victim had reportedly gone to a friend's house then back to his own and a police patrol was on its way to sort out the trouble. The media said it was strange that when the patrol found the body medical staff from Bang Lamung Hospital were not called. An autopsy is now taking place at the Police Hospital to determine what happened.

Popular Post colinneil Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 I find it unbelievable that Thais are complaining about noise !! Hopefully there will be a proper investigation into the mans death, not the usual cover up because it is about a farang. 31 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never hear their own dog(s) barking all night; or their son's motor bike with holes in the silencer; or the music played in their own boom-boxes (AKA pick-ups). 18 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted February 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2020 Is this the most incomplete story reported??? Pensioner dies, that’s about it. Its not even clear if his death is related to the altercation with a neighbour or he just passed away anyway. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have a friend who lives in a moo ban in the outskirts of Pattaya who's surrounded by other housed each keeping a menagerie of both farm and show animals whereby the noises emanating from them unbearable and enough to send you over the bend and for some people excessive noises is enough to make them do rush decisions... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be a proper investigation into the mans death, not the usual cover up because it is about a farang. About 13 years ago, I was living in an apartment and had some Thai friends over for a party. It was the one and only time I did that, living at that particular place. In the middle of the night, about 3am, they were being so noisy. I told them to tune it down a little, but they didn't listen. Some Thai neighbors knocked on my door not once, but twice, to complain about the noise. They were being nice about it but clearly they weren't happy. I was very embarrassed as it wasn't me making the noise but the "friends". I told them not to slam the door and long story short, they became "offended" and I never again saw these "friends" except for my then girlfriend who I only saw once more about a week later, which is when she broke up with me. Suspect the breakup was mainly caused by her and her friends being told to "pipe down". After I told them to stop shouting and slamming doors, they went down to the pool without me at 4am to splash around and annoy even more neighbors. Glad I no longer know these people though, they have zero courtesy or respect for anyone but themselves.

Yes I understand that, I just fixed my home water pump that was making a racket. If my pool pump started to make a racket I would turn it off before it wrecks itself, they are darned expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
