Unsafe Smog at 54 Locations in Bangkok

It would appear that the above organisation is neither coordinating nor resolving any pollution problems, a bit like most of the government departments in this country, if there's no money in it for me I'm not interested.

The critical level of PM2.5 is 25 in the rest of the world. 50 in Thailand. That is another way of taking care of the pollution. Why not raise it to 75? Problem solved!

Maybe they can rebrand as Covid19 control  program thus making Thailand number 1 in prevention.

I wonder if T.A.T will pursue an award for this achievement.
