Pool pumps usually do not make that much noise.

This story is providing little information.... was he tinkering with the pump? 

It was petrol pump as stated in the source report.

Did you use a translator, because I got water pump from that?

Petrol pump would certainly make more noise!

Big mistake not getting a rooster to drown out the pool pump noise. ☺️

How is this possible? Unless he owns the house and rents the land.

He doesn't own much at all now does he!

Where does it say the complainer was Thai?

I would have pointed out it was my wife's pump and I neither owned or accepted responsibility for anything in Thailand.

Being 65, I cam most certainly say I'm not only elderly, but death is fast approaching.

As for the pool pump, don't you turn them off at night to save electricity?

I do the opposite, run for 6 hours each night! (Salt water chlorinator)  rarely run during the day.

I agree, and I wonder if they would've complained if the pump owner was a Thai.

They know that would be an exercise in futility, but complaining about a farang, the double standard of Thai 'justice' would probably work in their favor.

Has always been.

Maybe he was fixing the pump and was electrocuted.

 

Once gain, the journalism here is thin on the details.

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.

I think you confused.

 

The Belgium dead guy complain.

The dead guy complain about neighbor water pump. Neighbor NOT complain, belgium dead guy complain.

 

Why you say the neighbor is Thai?

The complainer was the dead Belgium guy. 

The neighbor NOT the complainer. The Belgium guy complainer. Sure.

Must have been one hell of a pump then .......... Story is incomplete and, in all honesty, relatively irrelevant

   It doesn't . So it must have been another(s) farang , because Thai's never complain about about noise .

What a stupid BS remark again about Thai and Thailand.

 

Just wonder when they finaly start to ban peoples inhere for Thai bashing.

 

Before writing things like this do some research or start to read something and you will find everywhere peoples start to complaining about anything.

 

Last year peoples sewed a rooster in France for make noice. So France made a new law protecting animals for making sounds in the open so they would not be killed or (re)moved.

 

I know peoples sewing schools so the children can't play anymore on the playground near their houses. Or going to court because the church, what was already 200 y in the village, is ringing their bells on sunday morning for the mass

 

Peoples thes days are just so intollerant and olny care themself.

come on guys, we all know what happened lol. The farang complained, and because of his age and 4th class status in thailand, he was murdered with impunity. 

[Vacuum]

According to the link provided by Yinn, it was the Belgian guy who went to his neighbor complaining about his/hers noisy pump. After he went back home and died.

You are doing well, I am still struggling to know whether it was his pump, a neighbour's pump, a pool pump or a petrol engine!

Yeah. I wonder how that works if you want to be buried here. Do you have to lease your grave for 99 years?

Mostly cremations... burial plots can be had in church grounds or Chinese places.

Yes but you do not own the plot as you are a foreigner. Yes I have been to cremations here before. Same way I will go.
