As opposed to the good old USA who withdrew from the Paris Agreement on climate change under Trump.

Yes let's all redistribute the wealth punish the productive people. Look at history when Stalin tried to do just that and 2 million Ukrainians starved to death and countless Russian as well.

Chiang Mai (and others in the area) has absolutely awful values for a couple of months,

And it's all coming from China who is now pulling out of talks to cut down on greenhouse gases. The say it's because nasty Nancy visited Taiwan. Total ????. They just wanted an excuse as they never ( not in our life time) intended to cut anything to help the world if it mean slowing them down. WAKE UP people of Thailand. Get in the way and your next.

Here is the list of 19 SE Asian cities.
 

POLLUTION INDEX  

I guess Chinese cities are over 100 - i.e. off the scale? So they do not list them. China is the world's greatest contributor to global warming and pollution in the world not just Asia.

They will just change numbers.

Why doesn't the Thai gov't just do like they do with motor bikes going down the wrong side of the road. Just pass a law against them. Boy, that will stop them in their tracks.

Although safety rules and building-control laws are in place, operators and authorities still have a casual attitude towards compliance.

This a case of too many laws in place which are not being enforced. You do not need new laws just make sure the ones already there are followed. Obviously the end game is control not actually solving the problem. For instance, the new seatbelt and baby seat laws. Are these really intended to save lives? 555  If you want to save lives why not enforce motorbike helmet laws, or not letting the motor bikes run on the wrong side of the road. And worst of all 2 adults and 3 kids on a motorbike - helmets or not NO SEAT BELTS.

So what's more dangerous? Take the GD motorbikes away from offenders, and get the idiots off the roads.

If every normal adult person in the country was asked if they want or need these jets, the answer would be 'No'. 

What about our submarines? Was that a yes or no or maybe so?

A senior Thai senator has warned that Ung Ing or Ms Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, should not be the next Prime Minister even if the Pheu Thai Party wins the next General Election.

Then who does he recommend and why? I can say my Som Tum lady should not be the next PM. But in truth she may be a welcome change. ????

Many of those affected are reportedly individuals who had regularly used this particular agent previously to extend their visas and stamps throughout the pandemic, with many claiming to be “stuck” in Thailand during the Covid-19 period.

"claiming" is the key word. They need to kick the bumbs out - the ones really gaming the system

I fly out out August on Philippines at $US1,500 (R/T) When we flew in February it was $US800 (R/T) on ANA/United. Just like everything else, the prices have doubled.

It was $1500 in 2019. So doubled since when, The Wright brothers?
