richard_smith237 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 According to my AirVisual Bangkok is currently 32nd. That doesn’t mean the air quality over the past 2-3 days has been good, it certainly hasn’t and the issue needs to be resolved. But reports like this muddy the waters and are inaccurate. That said - the AQI map would place some areas of Bangkok ‘well up there’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonymous Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Cambodia is showing the way. PHNOM PENH, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has issued a directive to ban people living in rural areas from burning paddy straw and garbage in their fields to reduce air pollution, the Khmer Times reported on Monday. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1196826-cambodia-bans-burning-of-rice-straw-garbage-to-reduce-air-pollution Thailand should follow their lead, but seems highly unlikely due to vested interests and apathy. The various Thai agencies with grandiose names tasked with finding solutions to this terrible problem have no teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkktodd Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Amazing Thailand pollution that brings on a host of illnesses and dangerous to the elderly Highway accidents that kills or causes long term injuries. put the hysteria on a covid that kills far less and impacts the economy and everyday people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The AQI is 29 (at the moment) in my area of Bangkok, which is the green: Good Air quality. The AQI is 51 (at the moment) where my son goes to school, which orange: Moderate Air quality. The worst area around Bangkok at the moment is Samut Sakhon at 184 AQI - unhealthy. There must be some fires or factories on the outskirts of Bangkok belching stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 A big thanks to the country that gave the world COVID-19, dammed the Mekong, and now sends its air pollution southwestward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Isaan sailor, better wait till the pollution from India might arrive? This year south of the himalayans there seems to be an enormous potential, I think much bigger than our friends from NE. But with the dams I'm on your side. Covid, I don't know... Stay out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
