Bye.

Dont wanna live in pollution all my life.

Why do they go out every year to extinguish the fires? Let them burn, more pollution. Everyone will love it.

I hope Corona needs all the resources so they have no time for the fires. They put the fires on, so why not breath it in for a long time.

As far as I understand the requirements 100.000 USD (not THB) is required as a minimum coverage.

I am also still working on that to get back in one day. Maybe someone has good advice for new insurance policies.

I do not know how this medical cert. can be so easy for some people here. Might depend on the country.

A close relative of mine was in Spain and now needed to do a test when returning to Germany for work. Test result is not here yet after 6 days.

Also they only test emergencies, people with strong symptoms and when it is required (e.g. by the employer as in this case).

Also I still do not understand the health insurance requirement: does it specifically need to state "cover for corona"? I have no idea how to return to Thailand with these requirements. That "Frank" broker who sells "corona insurance" is only up to 1M THB.

Those who know how, please share your knowledge instead of boasting how easy it is. I do not go back now but preparation is necessary.

I am in Europe now but for my return to Thailand one day in the future I need to prepare.

Did anyone of you find covid-19 insurance as requested for 100k USD?

That "Frank" broker which was suggested somewhere in the Forum before only covers up to 1M THB and also they require a work permit when you make a claim - they said it is not for tourists. I would not have cared and just used it for Immigration so they are happy, but 1M THB is not enough.

Anyone found an insurance yet?

You need a new meter then 555

Cant help you with "charts" - there are other experts for that here. But I can tell you from experience that I never return before the end of April for a good reason. Air will be very similar in April until the rain starts.

If you can, wait until mid May.

There is still some red and too much purple now. Yesterday you were better. Is that all you can do? Disappointing.

I am really happy now. Sitting here with zero air pollution where I am now, seeing that they finally started burning. This is the way it is supposed to be - above 300 everywhere. Well done. Keep up the good work.

Good job. Well done. But please, more. Need to finish on schedule.

And we started late this year. I demand 300+ daily.

Facebook groups "Chiang Mai buy sell swap" Secondhand Chiangmai"

Sold a scooter there before and other stuff.

I am happy to see an improvement in getting things done.

But there is too much red. It should be all above 200. Otherwise burning all year. But still, thank you all the people involved, I hope you can burn some more so we finish on schedule for the rainy season.

In a Central shopping mall at the moment. Prob 50% of Thais wearing one. It becomes a bit of an inconvenience for some when they have to lift it up to spit in the bin. 
Another I saw today having a p.iss and straight out with out washing his hands......but I’m sure his mask makes him immune. 

Fair play in general though as there is sanitizer free everywhere for all. 

From my observations many wash their hands before going to pee.

Thanks for the update. Blueish-grey is not enough. It means mostly air quality is below 200. They really need to hurry, otherwise it takes all year. I always thought the promise was to burn certain months.

I am talking about air pollution.

How do I protect myself once I run out of masks.

I am worried about pollution masks.

Have around 60-70 now.

Luckily I bought some in December because of the pollution at that time.

But the supply is limited. How can I protect myself after that? They cost 20 THB per piece before at the 3M shop. Now I should pay 10 USD because of Corona?

When I was in CNX in Dec/Jan, I measured with my handheld pm2.5 outside and it always was in line with the government stations.

Those who measure higher values than 200 now (because the stations worry me - it is only red and I worry they do not burn enough), please tell me the sky is not blue. You might laugh. But in December I noticed that at AQI 180+ and esp. above AQI 200 the sky is never blue, more grey and if it gets really high turns more white. So if you still see blue sky, the stations might be right and your handheld device might not be accurate. Please someone who is there confirm. We want to get it done - they need to burn more and not just a little.

Ventenio, why do you praise yourself to live in 90 AQI? Also unhealthy. Certain countries in Europe go crazy when AQI is above 50 because this is the normal safe limit. You are right that everyone should leave CNX. But as you might know, Chiang Mai as always attracted many people on budget who just do not have the money to leave. Others made a huge mistake and bought real estate - now they cannot sell. As you I also think everyone should leave for a certain period - but it is not possible for everyone.

For you guys with the Xioami air purifier this number is the pm2.5 concentration - you can google and calculate into AQI which is much higher.

Around 35-36 is the limit pm2.5 when you get above AQI 100.

Around 9 is the limit when you get above AQI 50 (above green air).

When I was in CNX in December/January, I had to use the power/heart mode regularly to keep it below 9.

For those who always say a lot of the smog comes from Cambodia, I have just been there in February, around 70 AQI in Siem Reap and consistent blue sky.

I hope they get more burning done now. It seems to be very slow because AQI is only red. We need +200 consistently so they can finish.

Never got denied myself but I imagine if they deny you for a bogus reason, they will just not take your form. How can you prove you tried to submit the form? Never happened.

It is now all orange again apart from a few exceptions in CNX city.

Really not funny. We rely on this going out for a period of time. They are not keeping up their deal and burn earlier and later instead. They must be laughing very hard.

Why are they not burning? AQI mostly orange, has been like that for days.

Really getting angry. Can we donate matches? Or what is the problem? Get it done.

I hope you are right about that and they are doing their job / getting it done. Because the numbers I see on AQI websites, make me angry, they do not burn enough, that means it will last too long.

I wonder whats the big deal is. Have they run out of matches? We had 200-300 and more last year. Why cant you do this properly?

I look at the AQI chart and I am angry.

They do not burn enough. AQI now yellow/orange mostly!!! Not ok.

AQI should be above 200 now in the end of February. Not good, because it means there will be burning when many of us come back in the end of April and May. Lets pray that they have some mercy and get the burning done, instead of doing it all year.
