Ranong is one of the cleanest provinces in Thailand, thanks to three factors: 1) it's heavily forested and 2) lightly populated. 3) It borders similarly sparsely populated and heavily forested Tanintharyi division of Myanmar.

 

Nearly everywhere else in Thailand, the situation is not looking as good. Chiang Mai is currently the most polluted city in the world, thanks to ignorant farmers and selfish locals burning fields and their garbage. Stagnant air in the valley from these sources, combined with vehicle emissions (lots of diesels that Europeans are now abandoning and 2-stroke motorcycle engines and lots of ancient vehicles on the roads) further contribute to the lousy air quality.

 

Bangkok is only a little better.

Ranong is 80% forest/nature. And we NOT burn the forest same the Chiangmai idiots.

we had four bad pollution day last year. Because the indo fires. 

I hate it, want to escape.

 

if I live in CM I would shoot people who start fire.

 

Generally speaking the south people do not burn and throw rubbish like the North, Issan and central people. 

Ranong and Phangnga people care about nature. 

The south have cleanest air (exception when Indo fire)

No Brain No gain !   In this entitled,shameless, defiant nation ,promises,thumbs up photo opps and projection numbers substitute for integrity, hard work and real change.....good luck with that 3 tier plan, we, now just go to the mall and take our chances with the VIRUS....

I was going to post the same thing but I'm not sure how to do the copy/paste of a TVF topic with the graphic like that.

Not sure if it is the correct way, but what I did was to open another page on the browser, go to the topic, highlight the url at the top, copy, and then pasted it onto my post. It automatically came up showing that graphic......

Having a police force would be a good start.  The only active measures the police employ concerning air pollution is:

1 they cause huge tailbacks of traffic whilst they milk the drivers;

2 they set the traffic lights to stop the maximum drivers on the main road whilst a single donkey cart crosses from a minor road.  This enables doughnut sellers a bigger captive audience for which they are 'grateful.'

Try driving the 331/304/24 from Pattaya to Surin/Buriram.  There are 22 sets of lights.  I did this journey monthly & kept a red-light score.  I rarely got five greens during three years.

Ok Thais having one idea maybe but 3 ideas is jus the bs.
