Popular Post edwinchester Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 Our neighbour is currently burning his rice stubble and a grey haze is enveloping the village. It's nasty outside and my eyes are streaming.....a Police Car just drove past and did <deleted>. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sydebolle Posted December 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2021 They are doing <deleted> a..l and could not care less. Not only Bangkok or Chiang Mai; same in Nong Khai. Apart from the yearly haze which starts earlier each and every year we also are blessed with a sludge of dark God-only-knows-what from the nearby Thai Beverage brewery boiling up some stuff which results in local firewater and possibly beer. The stench is terrible and it is pumped out, across the main road into some fields and those living nearby (like me) may enjoy this total disregard on sustainable liquid waste management. Never got access to the big wig in said booze factory and the local police - upon enquiring - just had a good laugh. So, what exactly do you expect, whose responsibility and who is in charge? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that agenda be cleaning up the sex industry ???? Have to admit, I hate it, but not as much as driving the kids to school in the thick of it, thank Buddha they don't have to line up for assembly for 45 minutes and that it's only around for 2-3 hours of the morning, otherwise I would be out of here. The above said, I try and stay focused on the positives, 1,2,3,4, um... Edited December 18, 2021 by 4MyEgo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 11 hours ago, webfact said: the government has been negligent in preparing for air pollution control. Understatement of the year. The government has been shockingly negligent in this respect for decades already, not just in Bangkok, but maybe even more so in the north as well. They are only in it for the money, and other than that they simply don’t have any interest at all in running the country in a somewhat decent manner, that’s just too hard, too much work, and more than probably also beyond their capabilities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Every year after the annual flooding they do nothing to resolve, they blow hot-air at the annual PM 2.5 problem that they do nothing to resolve. In the cities they need to focus on the vehicles; in the rural boondocks they need to focus on the Ag burning and forest arson. What will they do? Kick the can down the road to next year.

Jimbo2014 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 They are doing quite a lot to encourage air pollution. Air pollution and the desired goal of high end tourists dont really go together. High enders like to breath fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
