Nope, just keeps getting worse every year and the burning season is just getting started! Pitty the poor Thai peasants that do not have the means to relocate so are forced to breath in the filth. ???? 

As per usual, a lot of talk but nothing is getting done to solve the long-standing problem. 

They have just started crop burning near me in Lopburi.  Ash from burning on the roads this morning and heavy pollution last night. 

The government continues to allow it to happen. 

Extends to Pattaya as well. Several fires in Central region and breeze from the N.

Hazardous haze. That’s some nice alliteration, well done. Unfortunately it’s not a haze; it’s called smog. 

Keep wearing your KN95 or N95 masks and you will be okay.

  See COVID is not the only reason to pack several masks with you on your 

travels.
