Born to love noise

» Daniel Reid in his June 3 letter, "Kill noise monsters", is right. There is a department to deal with noise pollution. I found this office at the Bangkok City Hall about 15 or so years ago, tucked away in a corner, staffed by 10 people, all who were playing computer games when I walked in. I was there to file a noise complaint. None of the staff knew where to find the complaint forms to fill in. When a form was eventually produced, there was little enthusiasm for anyone to listen or help out. I finally went outside to find "someone in authority" to light a fire under these people. At least I got the ball rolling after a few hours that should have taken a few minutes.

» Re: "'Gorgeous' cheerleader billboards spark war of words", (BP, Sept 14). The billboards with "gorgeous" head and bare-shoulder shots of 15 former Thammasat University cheerleaders that are meant to inspire students to join this year's cheerleading team are controversial and inappropriate.
