    Oh I'm well aware of the situation Colin.  And the errant MHS farmers are not really a concern IMHO.  It's the reckless burning of scrubland or forest, and waste like plastic, old tyres, etc, that's needlessly contributing to the haze which crosses over from neighbouring countries each year.

    Therefore all efforts to control indiscriminate burning are welcome.

     

    Personally, bush fire smoke doesn't bother me but I get a tad <deleted> off when fragments  of burned waste cardboard or cement sacks land in my pool.  55

    I was not talking about farmers, i said hill tribe men, should have said they were burning the forest.

    We had to travel to our home 32 ks along forest tracks, and we were on my mc trying to reach MHS, track was impassable due to them burning both sides of the track.

    So something should be done that they cannot anymore - threaten with removing them from the mountains ...

    and then do so as soon as the next fire appears

     

    Nobody should no way be allowed to destroy the health of many people

    Yes mate fully agree with you, but the problem is a lot deeper than most people understand.

    People in the mountains feel it is their right to do as they please.

    Thai authority could help stop the problem by treating the hill tribe people like human beings, something that does not happen, those poor people are treated disgustingly by authority here, so they are basically sticking 2 fingers up at authority.
