    “3 kilometers radius”.... b0ll0cks Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect

    April fools....

  • It's a good idea but you will need about another 10,000 units around the city to make a difference. 10,000 x Baht 500,000 = better to just stop the fires.  

Where did these “experts” take the dust particle readings? Next to the machine?  What was the noise pollution from this machine? At least it takes the smell of papaya salad away.

Provided at a steep discount for the people by those who brought you mobile bomb sniffers.

Here in Pattaya they haave a plan to lay plastic,over the Fake ''sandbag beach''  to avoid rain water erosion, last month BKK sprayed a solution of molasis and water in the air to fight the poison ,now this!!!!.

All of them, as mad as a box of frogs.  At least it's entertaining to watch. 

Wow, this even beats the glorious Thai engineering feat of speeding up the outflow of floodwaters by using boat propellers. I bet it only works in this enchanted kingdom.

Well I am in 3kms radius and didn't make much difference. If what they say is true, then the readings from Tapae Gate would have a different pattern than others, wherein fact they have the same levels and pattern.

If  only it could be combined with the boat  props?

And how will they clean the filters ? Probably just wash them out with a hose and put the particles back into the air !  They think that if you cant see them they have gone. These 2.5 particles do not break down and will be back in the air ASAP.  

oxydise at high temperature ????

appeared to be efficient in reducing the amount of fine dust particles in the air in a 3-kilometre radius

Pigs can fly!

 

There must be some deadly air currents in the vicinity if it it sucking air in from a 3 km radius.  Are there people who actually believe such drivel?

Even elementary science is strange magic here, most people will believe just about anything.

Green Giant

This is a registered trade mark of the Green Giant corporation - could there be a lawsuit pending?

As Abraham Lincoln succinctly stated:

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

And the Jolly Green Giant still lives in Jolly Green Valley with Little Sprout, and that's where vegetables really, really come from.  "Ho Ho Ho!"

No , ironically, sweetcorn!

More BS news and BS faux solutions from the heart of do nothingness....

 

Not to mention, the article makes absolutely no mention of what kind of filtering system their big vacuum cleaner actually has, or, as another poster pointed out, what's actually powering the thing.

Knowing how they do things here, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a crew of Somchais drive up with an air compressor in the back of a truck, remove the filters, and then blow them out with compressed air. ????

What would be worse for your health? Smoking a cigarette, or breathing the polluted air?

Just one cigarette is obviously a lot better for peoples health then 5 months of dangerous air.

The lengths they go to..... when all they have to do is start arresting any land owner with burnt land. 

It looks like a little green space capsule. 

Did any little green men loose one

dunno the guarantee of it achieving anything!

- except for deafening anybody standing within cooee of it!
