Good question.

The only thing I can think of is that younger Thais often equate LOUD MUSIC to FUN - and the LOUDER the music is - the more fun they think people are having. This isn't much different than what I experienced growing up in the 70's when LOUD music at public venues ruled.

Beer and Mak should know better. Maybe they just don't care anymore...who knows.
