The photos are pointless unless they can provide some photos showing a normal day at the temple before the virus scare to compare with. I still see plenty of people there.

Never been? Anyone familiar with the sights would know that they are typically crammed in elbow to elbow.

Geez, how many tourists do they want ! It looks reasonably busy to me, as were the beach pics posted the other day. Sometimes I thing the government will only be satisfied when there are 5 tourist per square metre, and it is obvious that in many areas there is an ecological inability to deal with so many ????

Obviously not, but it shouldn't be a prerequisite if a journalist is trying to make a point.

I wondered if the maps showed the nearest hospital ?

Jomtien is wonderful at present , no tour buses anywhere...even the air seems cleaner. 

Yes you are right the tour buses were a nightmare

but you are wrong about the air quality, unfortunately

the AQI is still at more than 150 at the moment (Unhealthy for sensitive groups)

and even with the actual wind, the fog is still present like you can

see on my photo just taken now from my balcony (13h30  2/3/2020)

you can see the Pattaya tower in Pratamnak but hardly see the Jomtiem condos

they are all in the ''smoke''
