Bang Saeng Hell

Yes, this is what it looks like, umbrellas and crowds right down to the water's edge. But what it does not show is the NOISE. Wishing to flee the madness of Bangkok, a Sunday in Bang Saeng seemed the option. Oh no! Wang Mok is as great a restaurant as ever. But the well know "Hell" of Bang Saeng, showing the suffering of the damned is small change compared to the noise on the sea front.
There are now LOUD announcements of the imminent departure of minibus number xxxxx for Bangkok, repeated every three, perhaps I exaggerate, ever four minutes. Between the announcements your beer loud drinking  neighbours carry on a manic laughing commentary on life, the universe, and everything to the accompaniment of squeaky radio musik. Besides, the setting sun reflects infra red rays into your eyes from the sea surface!

..the Neighbours complaining

"A new Bluetooth speaker shows that size isn't everything

They say good things come in tiny packages and that certainly holds true for the Xxxxxxxxxx, a portable Bluetooth speaker small enough to fit in the girlfriend's handbag but boasting so much volume that it will have the neighbours complaining."

A news item suggesting that noise enhances sale potential 
Throw the wretched things in the canal.
