Whilst I'd agree that IQAir generally gives better current data, the daily (24hr) data from AQICN is a fair reflection of what I see in my daily readings. So I consider the monthly summaries to be accurate. That said, currently (20:00hrs) AQICN has Hat Yai at 50, IQAir also gives 50 or 12 µg/m³ - my reading here is 9 µg/m³, but I live just outside the city centre and it's an indoor reading. So here at least we're all in agreement. .

How so, Nakhon Si Thammarat doesn't have air quality problems, it has some of the best air quality in Thailand.

Just taking the last two years summary data for PM2.5 from the AQICN website for a geographical spread of Thai cities you can quickly see that the south is a better option. Data from https://aqicn.org/map/asia/

I have two PM2.5 monitors in the house in Hat Yai. In the nearly 3 years I've had them they've largely stayed in the 1-20ug/m3 range, or an AQI of 4 to 70. Local pollution can push it up to 60ug/m3, AQI of 150. If the Indonesian 'Haze' comes to town it can go over AQI 200. August-October is the time of year we can expect surprises from Sumatra, but thankfully most years it doesn't reach us. Bad air seldom hangs around for more than a few days because we get a good breeze from the coast most of the time. As my wife is asthmatic this is important.

Peninsular Thailand has, by and large, the best air, with the area between Chumphon and Nakhorn Si Thamerat, that includes Phuket and Koh Samui, seemingly the sweet spot. We live further south in Hat Yai, which is good most of the time, but we on some years get the smoke from Indonesia.

Why do you need a grave to remember someone? I remember friends and family everyday through favourite walks, places, foods, music, films and a thousand and one other things that prompt a memory.

I think you've been smoking way too much plant

I've met about a dozen or so members in real life, but that was the old old TV, so they're dead or no longer posting. Generally I don't have a problem meeting up in real life, but it's not something I do without careful thought. The world isn't short of nutters, and they do tend to be over represented in online forums. .

Yes, I was thinking good luck with that!

The scrap metal value of that 'coffin' must be about equal to tourist revenues these days

Damn but these guys so love to set themselves up for a fall.
