Monks who stay in Buddhist monasteries at many riverside and canalside temples in Nonthaburi province still use boats as a vehicle for receiving alms since early morning during the Buddhist Lent.

 

Though there are many garden trees in the suburbs, pollution remains an unescapable reality.

 

Even on Sunday morning, though the air quality index in Bangkok and its suburbs showed improvement, in many areas it was at levels not safe for outdoor activities.

Live in Nonthaburi...took the bicycle out for a morning 6:45 am ride a few days ago....wore a hoodie as it was a bit cold....after the ride had to throw the hoodie in the washing machine as the  smell of smoke was so pronounced. Unfortunately can't clean the lungs as easily. Bad air makes be pray for a early hot season....and that is scary
