Every freaking time i walk in, the TV is just too fucking loud. And I cant say anything about it anymore or she will bitch me out. Fuck. I usually dial it down 10%
I know they have a good sense of smell. Just wondering about the ears.

Turn the volume up on your CCTV Srivilled and you will concur...
Yes, they are far too loud and the volume is far too high only when its Thai people and Thai media.
Just the opposite with my better half. Very low volume but she is an exception as both male and female Thais over do the volume.
@backspin - be thankful you don't have neighbors singing karaoke every weekend. Heh.
Re: the noise - learn to live with it. Talk about it - if that doesn't work, then buy noise-cancelling headphones & hole up in your man cave.
I don't turn the volume high, but I've learned to live with the background noise, whether it's karaoke, roosters, tweeting birds, children playing, church bells or the Muslim call to prayer at 5 am. It is what it is.
I'm with Norton on this one. However while my wife keeps the volume low she does tend to speak very loud. I have said, "you should get a hearing test". She then yelled and said "I have no problem hearing, you have an issue listening". Of course I said "Well that's because you talk to damn loud"
The missus likes the tv and computer streams on louder than my normal settings, it must be said.
Likes low-level ambient background noise, music, tv on during daytime and night also. Silence is not golden.
It's not a big problem. I just thought it is kinda strange considering she's soft spoken. I said something a couple times and just assumed maybe she'd lower her default volume a bit after my input. But now I just know that this is how it's going to be. I just walk in and turn it down a bit. She doesn't have a problem with that.
For most of us Thai is not a particularly mellifluous language. Added to that, many farang tend to have relationships with those who have worked in an environment where loud music was a constant.
Finally, being brought up in Thailand's crowded cities can often mean that high volume becomes a part of life.
Whilst we of course cannot change anything about our partner's language, we can remove the other two factors simply through our choice of partner.
Can only speak for my missus, but yes. Living room tv is far too loud, but that room is more her domain than mine. But for sanity a while ago we agreed a new house rule, if you want to talk to me in the living room, the tv gets muted first.
I often wake early a.m. to the sound of hysterical women, give a yell, she turns the soap down, I go back to sleep; nothing changes, get used to it.
Does she cook and clean and serve other needs? - right then, accept it.
Sybil wins this thread. You can't argue with "mellifluous".
