Bangkok pollution crisis: Cockpit picture shows extent of the problem

 

 

Thai media said that a nighttime picture posted on Facebook showed the extent of the dust enveloping Bangkok.

 

Taken from a plane cockpit at 9,000 feet Sanook said that residents may feel safe at night in their houses but the dust particles were lurking above. 

 

They said that the problem had been recognized internationally. 

 

Exposure to particles of PM 2.5 could eventually cause lung cancer, heart disease and a host of other ailments, they said. 

 

The picture was on the Facebook page of Theerawat Suensilpong.

Dog bites, mozzy bites, loony drivers, low balconys, bodily fluids, one more added to the list won't do any harm, adds to the joy of living here..

We are certainly thinking of moving back home (country).  Things seem to be deteriorating environmentally faster than you can yell corruption and incompetence.

Don't let the Chinese know about this !

Time to move the Thai figure for " dangerous" from 50 pcs to 100. then the iar will be within specification and anyone who says otherwise should be arrested for spreading unhelpful misinformation

If only they would start to get rid of those old polluting buses, trucks, old veichels and whatever else on the roads, just to mention driving irresponsibly endangering everyone on the roads with lack of any driving training.

The pollutions would slightly reduce but unfortunately there’s no action whatsoever take from the outhorities in every respect ☹️

Things are destined to get worse and irreversible, this country is unsafe for everyone in many ways ????????‍♂️

before people get too wound up over Thailand I remember flying from San Fransisco to LA (about an hours flight) and for the last 20 minutes the clouds changed from white to grey. also I had flown from the UK previously and landed in LA about 8pm and all you saw was smog as you were coming into land.

My wife and I plus our cats, birds and an unknown loving creature commute as needed between Pattaya and Ayutthaya. We don't get tickets, we get out of the way of idiot drivers and don't deal in smog.
