Around 21:00  -  this is ok.

For most of the northern people?

I'm sure all of you will know Eric Blair's 1984?

I think he has written it 1948, only some years after WW II.

Btw, a topic named  'phrae-pm25-numbers-2020' should

also allow some thoughts in this direction !?

Yes.

And this might be the basic problem.

The whole North is blanketed with SMOG.

Sorry, but who writes such funny things - 'haze', how nice.

Where is the link gone?

https://www.greenpeace.org/southeastasia/press/3239/a-haze-free-asean-by-2020-are-we-there-yet/

Or this link

Keep the good work doing, ThaiVisa.

Thanks for all the information of the good members in the past.

But, enough is enough.

Bye.

How much tax do you guys pay?

Are you Mr. Heath? Or Mr. Wilson?

The Beatles have been singing more than 50 years ago about such nonsense...

If it makes you happy, every item you buy in Thailand is taxed with 7 %. No?

So you might calculate yourself whatever you want.

Dear Mr villagefarang,

I didn't hear an answer.

I tend to be pragmatic and don't get hysterical about stuff I can't control.

Agreed with this, 100 % Mr villagefarang.

But isn't there more we - The Aliens could do?

Over the years I really appreciated your photos and posts on Thaivisa.

There was a period you weren't there. Too bad.

And now, because we're too(?) old we shouldn't raise our concerns?

My English is a bit restricted, my Thai even worse.

And there is not enough money backing me.

This AirPollution in Indochina is getting worse each year.

So, let it be, let it be?

Answers really appreciated.

Thaloengsak said controlling the air quality was the duty of provincial governors and the Army,

The answer might be a first step.

And then:

Well done, Department of Pollution Control deputy director general Thaloengsak Phetsuwan !

Read the wording/selection closely

Yes, that's it.

My bank wrote today amongst other things:

' Some ATM operators and also merchants in non-euro countries
offer immediate conversion to euros. ...... a course surcharge that puts you

significantly worse than at Settlement in local currency. '

OK, it was a lesson to me.

Thanks to you, Pib and to 'everyone' for support.
