Who's right here

It depends on time and place, a bit difficult.

Your #1   AQI 108     -     PM2.5  38

#2 is Rongkwang Hospital in Rongkhem:

AQI  141   should be  PM2.5  about 50

#3  Ventusky  13:00   PM2.5  51 ug/m3  ~  about AQI  142

and at our place now:  PM2..5  49  0  AQI  136

All not too different.

Great link, thanks dutchkev.

But I'm convinced corn isn't the main polluter if there is one at all.

To make it short, in the moment the biggest problem seems to be

a temperature inversion.

... An inversion traps air pollution, such as smog, close to the ground.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(meteorology)

Our daily smog is widespread, from the Himalayas to northern China.

It was only a question of time to arrive over Thailand.

... my dumpf.ck cats ... want to keep the door open.

Perhaps a cat door with a photoelectric barrier might help?

I'm sure there are members on ThaiVisa with a lot of ideas.

I can't see any industrial, road traffic or crop burning pollution in the Sahara

I think in Africa it's sub saharan crop burning pollution etc.

A different problem than in Thailand, situated between India and China.

Please don't forget, it's winter and charcoal produces a lot of 'bad' air. Everywhere...

Don't see what illegal migrates have got to do with it, someone just looking for a pay day. 

I don't like roosters and I too don't like cock fighting.

Allowed or not, it's crazy.

But to your post: 

C.F. arenas and especially their 'excited' people are beautiful virus spreader.

Well known, by the way...

85 people arrested for breaching covid 19 regulations that is the story here. 

No. No. No.

This is called 'News'.  - If you like it or not.

*   Mandeep Singh, 28, from India, accepted he was the manager. 

*   All the Thais were charged with breaking the emergency decree rules. 

*   21 of the foreigners were charged with breaking the emergency decree rules and illegal entry.

Not really Jon. 
They were here illegally, border jumpers. Which caused the recent Chaing Mai covid outbreak.
And they were illegal workers in Bangkok. Which caused the recent Samut Sakon covid outbreak. 

Thanks for the link, Natai Beach.

And I agree with you.

This is correct, I suppose. Since some weeks.

But a big part today might be 'Thai made'.

Traffic Bangkok.  Sugar cane burning? - But where?
