Seems the forgot a one.????

 

 

Wonder where The NAtion gets it's figures from. My app said 138 this morning in Bang Rakam near Phitsanulok, down to only 91 now! 

Yup.  And todays ingenious excuse by the hilariously named 'Department of Pollution Control' (an oxymoron if ever there was one) is that its a 'Transboundary Mobility'.  A new euphemism for those keeping track.  And todays scape goat is... Cambodia.  yes Cambodia is burning crop but for the last few weeks the entire northern areas north of Bangkok have been Red and Purple on Airvisual.  A toxic and putrid dump of crop burning.  All 'Tourist' islands other than Phuket also toxic have air.  Im not sure what type of tourists Thailand expects to attract, presumably tourists without lungs.
