I heard Tommy Dee on 103FM in the morning saying that it was not smog but early morning mist or something.........????

Just before sunset today, at around 5.30pm, the smog (or whatever it is) in Jomtien was thicker than I have ever seen it. So presumably not early morning anything.

 

Windows tightly closed, air-con on for the foreseeable future. And I wont be going outside either.

Quite nice around Siam Square this morning

Never knew they built a 2nd Siam Square in Pattaya, or have they relocated the one from BKK to here? Can you let us all know where it's located in Pattaya?

Sure

Yesterday was really bad in the late afternoon, I got AQI 166 and you could smell it and see it.  Looks better today.

Looks a bit better today but you can still smell it outside. On the other hand BKK this morning reached a 403 AQI rating, with a rating of "hazardous".

Crazy , just like worst parts of China.

Has anyone found any N95 masks with a valve in Pattaya? I like the ones that allow exhaling. AQBlue works well, but those are only in VN and China. 

 

I have had no luck here in Bangkok finding anything.

Are those readings from the doors and windows closed for a few days? How much do you get if you open the doors and test it standing on the balcony?

Indoors with doors and windows open from about 7AM this morning..

during the day I open the windows and doors to let in the "fresh air" ????   

in the evening close the windows and doors to stop mosquitoes, cut down noise from the Soi Dog Singers and Mr no exhaust pipe + turn on aircon to cool the place down.

up to 60 earlier  but seems to be improving    now down to about 50  much more variation "outdoors"

Is the N95 face mask available in Pattaya (another thread said this is the one to have)?

[johng]

Bad this morning,could smell,taste and feel it as soon as I opened the bedroom door.

[DrTuner]

Any given Sunday. Anybody happen to have the link to the map with the field fires burning?

Can hardly see Pratunuk hill from 2nd Rd. It is really bad today indeed.

[balo]

Yes today we're back to red alert .  My SNDWAY are flashing red outside on my balcony and that means trouble. 

 

128 is AQI 188 , time to wear a mask and stay indoor if you can, 

 

 

 

[bbi1]

Today the smog is absolutely disgusting and smells bad as soon as you step on the balcony. It's difficult to see Pratumnak hill from 2nd Rd. Is today the worst it's ever been in Pattaya?

[mitebbots]

headed to Numchai to see if they have any sort of air purifier. my eyes are burning and my chest hurts.

viability not as bad as it has been  but still pretty murky.

Alright, combine this: 

 

 

With this ( https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-254.08,13.12,1760 ):

 

 

And it's easy enough to see now is a good time to do dried beef jerky outside for that special cold smoked flavor. Thanks a bunch, Cambodia.

Thanks a bunch, Cambodia.

I  don't know that visibility has improved as when I look out the window it's still as bad as this morning, which is the worst it's ever been in the few months I've been here.
