“High temperatures sparked many fires”

The air in Chiang Mai sucks

Its rather like putting out a large bonfire using an eggcup...

A very bad air last days. Thanks, I live in Mae Taeng. Never before I read a report like this. ????

 

 

There should be a whole fleet of those helicopters and water bomber planes.

More like intentionally set wildfires to clear forest and look for mushrooms

Looks like Russian Mi-16 Helicopter was been rented for one day. ???? Back to normal.
