MAE HONG SON, 1 December 2018 (NNT) - Pai district and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) plan to promote environmentally-friendly tourism with a clean-up campaign. 

Some 400 villagers and government officials as well as tourists and the general public joined in the clean-up campaign promoting the environmentally-friendly tourism. 

TAT Mae Hong Son Office Director Yothin Tumtimthong said the campaign was designed to promote the environmental awareness, reduce waste, prepare spots for tourists during peak season, and show the public unity in environmental conservation efforts. 

He said the TAT has made agreements with many related agencies to constantly hold environmentally-friendly tourism activity, calling upon all sides to participate in the sustainable conservation effort.

I was in Pai last weekend, the air is toxic up there. I stayed up in the hills and I could see many, many different open fires burning simultaneously. Also this could be seen on the drive from CM. They should start thinking about finding ways to stop farmers and locals burning everything if they're actually serious about being environmentally friendly.
