More with the "enhance the awareness" nonsense, at least these silly masks will get some real use for a few months.

Me hear, me look around, no one see anyone, me burn..................................., me too, and me, and everybody else, up to us, no one see us, only smoke, no one stop us, everybody no look me and I no look you.

 

This morning I look out window, only see mist, is not smoke if anyone ask, nobody can smell it anyway.

Any excuse to advertise a "wine tasting"!

I  don't know whether to laugh, or, cough.

Is this to be countered with continued ‘Can’t be ars$ed to police the roads’ campaign by the BiB ????

Is Campaign the new buzzword for Thailands 2021.... ‘crackdown’ is so yesterday !...

... I see ‘hub’ also being switched out for ‘focal point’ in Thailand post Covid 5.0...

I have done exactly that, i.e. in the morning I don't open up my curtains in our bedroom which face the open rice fields behind us where all the smoke can be seen. We drive the kids to school and the see the smoke everywhere, we keep the car windows closed and make sure that when the kids arrive at school it's straight to class, no 45 minute wait in assembly for them to breath in the smoke.

 

The principal did complain and we complained straight back, explaining to her our reason and that if that did not fit with the schools policy then we could remove the kids straight away, no need she said $$$$$$$.

 

We get home around 9am and it's starting to clear and before you know it we can open up the house, ahhhh....living the dream, well till about 5pm when everybody starts cooking with their black Eucalyptus charcoal which is toxic, then lighting up sugarcane and rice fields, when you really think about it, it's not that bad, you just have to remember to breath less ????

What car are you limping around in ???

Unless the car is a cheap POS the AC and ventilation in cars is filtered air. 

Additionally, we run an Air-Purifier (Xiaomi)

Mostly from our mouths as the HEPA filtration systems takes care of the rest, problem solved.

 

Time to get with the program as richard_smith237 has kindly shown you.

I am sure it will be a blazing success and that Friday will see the end of the smog!

Depends on where you set the 'outside/recirculate' control doesn't it? 

 

AFAIK all cars have one since the 1960's. I've never seen a car without one. 

 

Most cars are fairly airtight and will literally float for quite a while if windows and vents are closed.

I thought it was 'stop the smoking from cigarettes', I can tolerate the smoke from burning but not from nicotine which is toxic.
