There is a man who drives around Bang Kapi in a ute with a loudspeaker on the back, peddling his stuff loudly at 7:30am on a Sunday morning.

If I ever see the mobile knife and sword vendor in my soi around the same time he's going to be in real trouble.

I don't understand why the Thais seem to love loud noise. Recently I went to a wedding in Surin and although there was only 30 people, the speaker stacks for the sound system were as tall as their 2 story house. I think people 20 kms away would have been able to hear them broadcasting the monks chanting, let alone us who were sat right next to it.
