I deliberately live in the country. Yes, there are noises but mainly birds (cocks - oops I should say roosters for sensitive US citizens), monkeys, - and they can be loud. Eventually, I learnt to ignore them though to be honest, as a morning person I don't mind waking early. I don't have to get up but van read in bed. Living in the tropics, it's light at 6 am and dark at 6 pm. The birds go to sleep and the monkeys, too, when it gets dark. I sleep quite early.
When I arrived here, my house was new and out in the - well, the word jungle isn't applicable - tall frasses and trees near a largish lake. No street lighting, it is still refered to as the {"dark side". Now the city has crept its way to make it a suburb. I am not in the city but a in a municipality. They have decided to have wonderfully bright and decorative lighting alone the main road around the lake. My house is still relatively dark but our tiny neighbourhood houses have external lights, if we choose to light them. The birds stay awake a bit longer and the monkeys and elephants have left us. I have a small "weed" factory at the end of my small lane, preparing medical products from cannabis. The air is often quite relaxing. Families with small children and babies worry about it because the kids, so they claim, often doze off.

Thank you, Ray…love the reminders to keep moving forward and the cinematic images (and soundtrack) of your beloved Thailand. What a treat!
