The most effective countermeasure would be to ban the burning right now. Today. Arrest those caught burning and confiscate their land. Anything less is not a serious response.

The burning is banned alread but there is no punishment if refuse to obey the burning ban.

Hard to understand that the tourists continues to visit with their childrens and all. Imaging the tourists stop to visit! That would be devastating for Thailand. That would be the last nail in the coffin. Fortunately people have short memory. Same as the journalists and governments. After April no one talk about this anymore until January the year after when the same issue wakes up again. And same talk again for 4 months. And so on. Year after year. The only thing that might help is if the tourists stop visiting. But then it is to late to repair the by then bad reputation. By then tourists finds other destinations to spend their money and wont come back.

The supposedly safe threshold in Thailand of PM2.5 is 37.5 micrograms alone is already a declaration of surrender

Right, all the rest of the world are using 25 micrograms as limit.

Very informative video. Maybe someone in the government sees it too. Not that it would help but it keeps the dream alive.

Parents are advised to ensure that their children wear face masks when they attend outdoor activities on Children’s Day tomorrow, due to poor air quality in and around Bangkok.

 

Dr. Atthaphon Kaewsamrit, deputy director-general of the Health Department, said that young immune systems and lungs are not as developed as in adults and children breathe faster. As such, there is a greater chance that they will inhale more dust.

 

He said that attending outdoor activities, such as in public parks or sports stadia, will increase the risk of dust inhalation, as he advised parents to closely monitor the condition of their children and, if they notice frequent coughing or breathing difficulties, the children should be taken to see a doctor immediately.

A 21 year old Thai man lost his life while repairing a tractor using knowledge from YouTube. His older sister revealed that she asked her brother to learn a lot before driving or repairing a tractor.

 

Officers from the Mueang Buriram Police Station were called to the sugar cane plantation in the Mueang district in the Isaan province of Buriram after the notification of the death of 21 year old Thailand named Sirimongkhon Sitchok.

 

Officers discovered the lifeless body of Sirimongkhon at the back of the John Deere tractor. His head and neck were crushed by the tractor’s disc ploughs.

 

Sirimongkhon’s younger brother, 13 year old A, revealed to the police that he came to the plantation with his brother because he wanted to learn how to drive the tractor. Before the accident took place, his brother left the engine running while changing the disk ploughs.

They could make a huge difference locally by enforcing laws pertaining to crop burning and vehicle emissions.

 

 

 

There is sooo much that can be done in Thailand. I don´t know were to start!

More taxes!

Why close them at all?

I can nor believe this type of accidents are happening over and over again in Thailand. Not even in Africa it is this bad.

Well, I googled it just now and this came up:

https://www.google.co.th/search?q=computer+repair+hua+hin&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-th&client=safari#sbfbu=1&pi=computer repair hua hin

I see, thanks! IT comes up as well when Google though. But I guess there are some shops then so not completely stranded.

As mentioned, saying a credit card was going to be rushed to her the next day is nonsense. I had a fraud alert and they had to issue a credit card. It took 8 days till I had the new card in my hands.

 

Also, Thailand has Western Union. She could be cashed up by people back home in an hour.

 

A lot of the women who do this are BPD. They do it for the thrill of the scam. The money is unimportant.

 

"You're not going to help me", is a ploy to put you on the spot and bring out any White Knight instinct you might have (why these misguided simp impulses within us all must be ferreted out and killed).

What means BPD?

So is there nowhere to buy computers and computer parts in Hua Hin? I am thinking of moving there and would like to have that nearby.
