Hello board members,

I live in a house outside Pattaya. I love where I'm living, it's safe and reasonably convenient, everything is great. Just one thing is driving me nuts.

It's the village loudspeaker.

Directly behind our house, mounted on a concrete pole, is a loudspeaker. Every morning from 7 to 8 and again in the evening from 5:25 to 6:00, it broadcasts to the entire neighborhood a mixture of luk teung songs, local news and the rambling thoughts and reflections of someone I assume is the village headman. It's loud and impossible to ignore. Apparently this is a not uncommon arrangement in Thailand.

The question is, what can I do about it?

My wife and I have repeatedly called Pattaya City Hall, to no avail. I would like to get a shotgun or RPG and blast the crap out of the thing, but the authorities might take a dim view of this approach.

Is there someone better I should call? Some kind of engineering solution? Has anyone else had this problem?

Most grateful for any constructive suggestions. Thank you.
