If a Bangkok mod may provide some input...

We have our own pollution problems down here, but just recently things seem to be MUCH worse. Since the government has actually issued a warning for you guys, I wonder if there is some country-wide problem to which they are not admitting. In Bangkok right now there is constant coughing and sneezing in most public places, the public transportation, schools, etc. Many teachers and students that I know have had extended respiratory illness of various types. I wonder if we are getting the same thing you guys are getting.

Perhaps Singapore is using the satellites to hurl smog bombs at Thailand from outer space. See? It's not our fault.

That's not quite what I meant or intended. I was referring to a larger phenomenon, along the lines of this: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines02/0811-06.htm
