Music Volume: When will they ever learn ?

[goji]

If the music volume at the majority of bars is acceptable to you - then where's the problem?

When one Boyztown bar plays music so loud that it f***s up civilized conversation in the whole of Boyztown, that's a problem.
A problem, but not a major one, since I can go to Jomtien or Sunee.
Of course, since you don't go to the bars yourself, what's your problem when those of us who expect to hold a conversation at a bar complain about loud music preventing it ?

People go to bars to socialize. Loud music prevents social interaction. It also damages hearing, so no one gains.
