Popular Post Misab Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sunday, March 29th, another day when we wake up to an unbearable stench of smoke and what it contains. The smoke has penetrated into the house where I live, I suffer from COPD, a severe lung disease. I'm less nervous about Covid-19 than I am about the smoke, because the latter will eventually kill me. But it's not just me, many who breathe in the sometimes-toxic smoke will eventually develop lung disease. Thailand has a law against burning, but I am amazed that the country apparently has no one to enforce the law. So while Thailand fear Covid-19, the farmers and others continue to burn merrily, although burning can end up killing many more people than covid-19 will ever do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It all depends on the brand of chocolate. Lindt praline is emptied, very quickly, very very quickly. By the way, in what place in HH, because nothing around Market Village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspaltso Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Its unfortunate to see the burning going on in locals where there ought to be clean air. I'm in Bang Saen chonburi trying to beat an episode of tonsillitis and someone was burning a huge pile of something yesterday, smoke was billowing everywhere. Just really unfortunate.

Why do the police not stop and fine them to add to their woes? 'nuf sed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 every year this time they burn in the pineapple fields around Pranburi just south of HH. really nice houses built right up to the fields and the smoke "lays down" and the whole housing track is covered in smoke. watched it a few times from the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICECOOL Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have been told by my wife that a lot of the burning in and around HH this year is due to a new land tax law. Land will be valued at zero value if it is being used for agricultural purposes. Hence the banana and coconut plantings along the main roads. Otherwise land tax will be much much higher. Been great to see the land cleaned but as people rightly point out the burning is almost intolerable. Let's hope in future years it's back to normal as we all know the authorities don't care.

The authorities care about the aqi readings in excess of 400 and more in Chiang Mai for the past few weeks. I know that because the self important guy that wears matching coats and masks said so, so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Okay, for burns, but, early in the morning, you don't feel anything in the center of HH; The wind points its nose only around 1:30 p.m .; In my country, we proceed to the eco-mud, to fertilize the earth. It is different from burns. For chocolate, was there any Lindt cognac in the supermarkets? Too bad to have missed the sale. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it has changed a lot since then ! will probably develop/grow even more in the future. if you mean the burning..... well, you may be right about that. it is done everywhere in Thailand. Guess you might throw in..... throwing or leaving garbage everywhere. Crazy thing is, i still prefer here to the western way of life. Its for each to choose his own poison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in fact the burning season is just now officially kicking off in and around Hua Hin. It's a coordinated effort and they tend to burn at night so the air pollution will be the worst in the mornings, so the best time to go outside will be in the late afternoon and early evenings if you want to avoid the worst of it. By 21:00 the 2.5 PM pollution will start to climb again. TIT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
