brewsterbudgen Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Not really news, is it? This happens every year and no part of Thailand avoids it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) That's most of Thailand, and tops that list of my pet peeves about Thailand. Right behind dumping everything and anything in the seas. Those 2 alone will forever keep Thailand in 3rd world status. Aside from those and a bit of litter, everywhere, love it here ???? They simply have NO respect for their country, and 'Thai for Thai', is fairly meaningless. IMHO Edited February 8, 2022 by KhunLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdog Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I just checked IQAir site: Bangkok with score of 140. And this lovely footnote: "PM2.5 concentration in Bangkok air is currently 10.3 times above the WHO annual air quality guideline value." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
