Why do Thais like noise so much

[Exexpat]

For what is supposed to be a charming and graceful culture, why are their school parks and shopping malls polluted by offensively loud PA systems, and why do they seem to enjoy driving around with unbaffled vehicles exhausts?

That one's always puzzled me too. They aren't as loud as Mexicans for example but generally speaking, a loud race of people.
Hot food = loud people?

it always baffles me as well, for a supposedly demure and quiet gender Thai women can make a hell of a racket when grouped together, individually my old lady and her friends are a quiet bunch but if they in a gaggle of more than 4 they sound like a chicken farm on head chopping day.

It's weird how they'll shout to each other even though they're stood next to each other. They seem to have no self-awareness. These rice monkeys are more animal than human.

^ This guys got Spunk! If you think the Thais are loud then wait for the Chinese peasant horde invasion in the coming decades

Do me a favour and delete my account. I've no desire for my name to be associated with this place.

Bye!

Love the way these people build beautiful urban parks and then, when the best time of day for enjoying them arrives, 5:30pm to 6:30pm, a dozen or so exercisers blast out dance music from a PA completely ruining the tranquility for the hundreds of others in the park.

It's selfish and thoughtless on a subhuman level.

I think the noisy vehicles are down to the novelty of rice monkeys being able to afford motorised transport and wanting everyone to notice.

They purposely fit loud aftermarket exhausts to cars bikes and pickups, and the way some of them blast around with their foot to the floor in pickups belching out black fumes is jaw dropping.

Western cultures are considerate and quiet.
Terribly civilised.

Is there any chance that you could rephrase that post in the English language so that it makes some sense to native English speakers ? I am sure that a Thai language version would be as easily understood by all here as the one you have posted.

Surely, you jest.

You really aren't too perceptive, are ya?

Naive.

How do you get Thais to act in a considerate adult manner without offending them?

I rented a third floor condo in issan for six weeks a couple of winters ago, and there were a couple of night security guards posted below my bedroom window who used to shout to each other every few minutes even though they were on opposite sides of a carpark entrance, 3 metres from each other.

I went down at 4am one night and asked them to speak quietly, and for the rest of my stay they gave me evils whenever I walked by. Most strange.
