nothing will ever change unless you stop the selfish farmers torching their crops and spewing soot all over the show.

 

sadly getting to the root of the problem is not a skill the Thais are very good at..

I'm shocked!

 

That it is only now, and only 24 districts.

 

Darn it, air has been toxic for a couple of weeks now, and today it looks a lot better than a few days ago...

Did they not announce last month that they had these new centres where you could report this and they would sort it out.

Or did I dream it, just like they do?

The title says 'air quality exceeds safety levels' ...so that is good.. It means the air is exceedingly safe! 

 

Seriously who would have emagined that this air pollution would be in bangkok at this time of year... What a total surprise!
