Allen Ginsing Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I was in Bangkok and the dust was giving me a headache so i decided to go to the Kanchanaburi but the same dust and smog was there. So down to Prachuap i went and here i am but the dust is still here, you can smell it in the air. It reminds me of India years ago, it gives things a certain look. So what is up with all this dust? It is only January, usually it is March when things get like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peperobi Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Welcome to Thailand where is forbidden to smoking and drinking on the beach and to have fun with the sweety bar girls...That what you do call smog is pollution, in Bangkok from the very crazy traffic, in other parts of Thailand they burning the fields or like we know from very dirty factories.

Enoon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Unsurprisingly, the "Heat and Dust" is not something that TAT promotes very heavily. Edited January 16, 2018 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) In Pattaya it isn't very visible from street level, but looking out from my 15th floor condo everything is shrouded in a white smog, as it has been for several weeks. Following the heavy rain we had recently it was much improved, but today it's worse than ever. I've taken to running the A/C set at 29° or 30°, and I dislike air conditioning generally, because it recycles indoor air rather than pulling any more of the gunk from outside.

LALes Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 This is not burning season pollution. This is crappy air from China that comes down in the winter, pushed by Arctic winds. The worst of it is mid-January to mid-March. AQI readings of 150+ the last few days. That's not good. Of course, the readings in China are off the charts at 300-500!!!! Can you imagine living in that crap! And I'm from L.A.!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingching Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) here is a great interactive map, u can see micro particle distribution, as well as some other stuffhttps://earth.nullschool.net/#current/particulates/surface/level/overlay=pm1/orthographic=100.72,12.85,3000/loc=109.170,12.078 India is amazing Edited January 16, 2018 by chingching add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canopy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice map. If those orange spots are pollution then it's pretty clear it's not coming from China since the air between China and Thailand is good. Pollution is made in Thailand. Make no mistake, the burning season of northern Thailand started late October (when the rains stopped) and is going strong and will go until around May (when rains start). Same story every year.
