September 22, 20196 yr I just went out and had a dry sore throat within minutes. Feel like I smoked a pack of cigarettes in 10 mins. Stay inside.
September 22, 20196 yr Had it in KL for the past week or so. Schools closed. Supposed to ease by tomorrow here but its still bad today.
September 22, 20196 yr Windguru showing wind to be switching to blowing from the east this week so hopefully that will get this haze out of here.
September 22, 20196 yr There was a Military type plane that passed over the South of Phuket yesterday travelling South to North which appeared to be releasing some sort of chemtrail, my guess is that it was something in advance to help clear the smog which they knew was arriving today.

Unfortunately, staying inside won't change anything unless you've got some sort of air-filtering system in place. PM2.5 <deleted> gets in pretty much anywhere. Either a proper air purifier with a good EPA/HEPA filter or adding additional filters to room AC units will offer some relief though.

According to the latest predications I have seen for the deep south, wind coming from east/south-east will actually makes things worse as it'll bring in all the <deleted> from the Borneo island. Things down here (Hat Yai) are predicted to get worse until at least Tuesday. We need rain, lot's of it... Wind coming the west will bring smog, as will winds from the east/south-east.
September 22, 20196 yr Looking out of my window the smoke looks dreadful........so bad I thought it was a rain-shower covering Patong. Bloody disgusting. Bet the tourists will love it and send reports back home, so won't do much for TATS stats!

September 22, 20196 yr I don't think the smog was that bad. And the dark clouds could very well have been rain clouds.
September 22, 20196 yr Took a day trip to Phangnga today. Intended to visit a viewpoint or two but it wasn't worth it. Only went for the day so no TM30/28 issues ????
September 23, 20196 yr More bad today. No chance to see till Kalim from Amari. Can't remember when it was bad like today. Horrible.
September 23, 20196 yr According to MHC Phuket we're at a 154 which isn't good. http://aqicn.org/city/thailand/phuket/municipal-health-center-1/

Horrible. 4 years ago in August it was similar and for a few days even worse than today. But I agree it's horrific at the moment. And looking at the forecast it get's worse today and tomorrow
