Protocol for making noise / playing music in BKK?

Hi, I'm a drummer and relocating to BKK. In the USA, it's no problem to play drums at home - I just don't play too late and my neighbors don't mind. I also have band rehearsals at home and the neighbors like to listen.

I have a feeling it's not going to work out like that here in Thailand - where do musicians usually play? Are there studios or can I play in a commercial space?

If I have a freestanding house / villa can I play there or am I going to get in trouble with the neighbors?

Any advice from musicians about where you play and how you avoid pissing off the locals is most appreciated.

I think there is an apartment going for rent next to CiaranM. He's always up early for work, so the best time to play is around 3am. ;)

Just kidding, don't know about that. Guess it depends on your neighbours. Some might be okay with it, some might want to rip your head off. Most (from my experience) just want a quiet life, so research studios or find a band to play in.

There are studios to rent (very cheaply) usually around the university areas. They can be booked hourly and cost (I think) 3-500 baht. Some already have equipment such as amps and mikes.

Playing drums in an apartment would be a big problem. In a house?

Depends on too many variables to comment - the neighbours, proximity, how far the sound carries etc

Have to feel sorry for you're neighbors.....having to put up with the noise levels every other night when ur missus is beating u up :-P

My Thai neighbors now and in the past have not been very tolerant when it comes to noise......Unless its them making it of course!
