Condos with paper thin walls. Any recourse?

I know this already got asked but I'm in a frustrating situation and would love some input.

Just moved into a new, modern condo with great facilities, nice furniture. convenient BTS access, everything looks good on paper. But the soundproofing between units is absolutely atrocious. I can hear my neighbor having conversations at normal volume, watching TV, coughing, opening and closing doors. It's genuinely as bad if not worse than student dorms I've lived in.

- Is there any realistic chance of getting my deposit back if I break the lease early over this? I know that the answer is very likely "no", but might as well ask.

- For those who went through the same situation, what did you actually do? Did you negotiate with the landlord, try to soundproof yourself, just suffer through it, or move out and eat the loss?

- Is this just the norm for recent Bangkok condos, or did I get unlucky with a particularly bad unit/building? My previous condo didn't have that issue but I also didn't have any neighbours living next to me.

- Last but not least: any recommendations for quiet condos with decent soundproofing? I know sansiri buildings are generally a bit better built, don't know about the other brands. I'll probably avoid the one I picked from now on.

Just want honest takes from people who've been there. Appreciate any advice.

I'm seriously considering moving out even if that means losing the deposit. Just feel l bummed out to waste money for a problem like that.
