Who got 7 days to burn their fields, after that it's all over.

Outside of the box thinking here - now they aren't so busy perhaps put the task under the remit of the fellows at the EC, I'm sure they can find a way to get the readings down.

Did they get to the meeting in a red truck with some extra smog?

 

Ok, only 7 days now, I believe you ????????

it's funny.  this is a "real problem" because we can see it and smell it.  yet what we can't is much more dangerous and involves pretty much everyone.... except the farmers!!!!  now that's funny!  statistics wise.  Co2 at 285 grams per passenger kilometer traveled.... by commercial aircraft.... a few thousand kilometers for some folks..... that are not rice farmers.... to experience the food and "nightlife" of Thailand.  love how we word these things, and how we point fingers too.  what else to do but that and to laugh at ourselves?  all of us.        

but this PM pollution will drop out over a few weeks and months.  not the other stuff.

PM wants smog problem solved.

Thai people want PM problem solved. 

Suspend operation X-Ray kill a farang temporarily, use the extra staff to enforce no burning, with hefty fines or imprisonment as punishment....job done, sorted in less than a week

Drove down from Chiangmai to Chom Tong this morning in what accuweather calls "fog" which of course is smog" It was like driving through fog though but the difference was ,despite the aircon blasting,the "fog" managed to permeate in to the car and both wife and I suffered sore throats and running eyes for most of the journey.

On the way down an open sided/back songthaew type vehicle passed us full of young western men and women. On the return journey about 4 hours later we actually passed the same vehicle, not difficult to recognize, the only difference was all the occupants were wearing masks which they were not on the way down.

Plenty to tell their friends on the social media and no doubt some great photos of "foggy" Chiangmai! ????

 

PM wants smog problem resolved in seven days

       

         

Prayuth: Clear the smog in seven days.   GOD: Created the earth in six days.

       He has spoken.

 

 

Loose these ballot papers son that why i have waited 2 months before getting off my arse don't worry no one will see you in this fog????

Nothing will be done.

In a month or less these threads will be dead.

And, the same people will be complaining about the hordes of Chinese at Nimman.

Such is life of the "quality" ex-pats in CM.....

Here we go again with the idiotic Thai pronouncements. They really are very funny people.

Just like he gave someone three months to fix Bangkok's traffic problems. Still waiting on that one!

Presumably some lifeless scapegoat committee has been appointed which he can blame for his own failure to achieve anything.

And, they found a Thai cure for ebola. 

 

And, they planned to push the 2011 flood waters back with junk boats. 

 

And, they ended corruption in 90 days.

PM orders  boat propellers in BKK to point  north.

Come on folks, give the man a chance, he is trying, yes very trying.????????????

"Experts see little changing after Prayut’s visit, blame govt’s policy to push corn cultivation".

 

And who owns the corn plantation? Big corporates; friends of the junta. 

Good Point, according to a recent story published on a USA based news site (google: Growing Corn Is A Major Contributor To Air Pollution, Study Finds:)

" The nitrogen in fertilizers helps fuel plant growth, but not all of it can be used by the plant. "Some of that nitrogen washes into waterways, and some of it gets released into the atmosphere as ammonia," says Hill.

Once ammonia hits the atmosphere, it reacts with other particles, mostly nitrogen and sulfur oxides, to form PM2.5, according to Hill."

 

This is a new revelation to me, and if one considers the massive amounts of agricultural chemicals being used in Thailand in conjunction with the other activities such as transportation, tillage and yes the burning of the waste, it is easy to see that the problem is not going to go away anytime soon.

 

hmmm ????

 

 

 

So apart from the photo op they are waiting for rain in the next 7 days ?

Ordering this to be fixed in 7 days clearly shows he does not have the first clue about the issue. I look forward to his excuse in a weeks time when things are about the same as they are now.

It will be but but but, we fixed the problem it's them pesky Burmese, Lao and Cambodians causing all the problems - as usual.

Is that a potato gun? He's serious about gearing up for Songkran.

Why the concern?  There is no smog in Munich.

They should call this place the land of muppets, i for 1 will be gone by the end of this month.

Very easy, dear and beloved general: Use different mesuring instruments - and everything's fine. That is thainess.

Seven days? He's been reading the Bible. Now thinks he is God.

Anyone else find it hilarious PM's nickname is Uncle Too aka PM Too aka PM2
