The problem of PM2.5 dust in the atmosphere in Bangkok and its suburbs, as well as in six northern provinces, is forecast to get worse this Friday and Saturday, said the Pollution Control Department.

 

On the Air4Thai website, the PCD reported on Wednesday that the general air quality across Thailand at 11am ranged from very good down to a health-threatening level, with the amount of PM2.5 in the atmosphere exceeding the standard level (currently 50 microns in Thailand) in:

 

  • Ban Tarn sub-district in Hot district of Chiang Mai, 84 microns (microgram per cubic metre)
  • Thanee sub-district in Mueang district of Sukhothai, 52 microns
  • Lat Yai sub-district in Mueang district of Samut Songkhram, 55 microns
  • Li sub-district in Li district of Lamphun, 66 microns
  • Ban Klang sub-district in Mueang district of Lamphun, 56 microns
  • Phra Bat sub-district in Mueang district of Lampang, 62 microns
  • Ban Tom sub-district in Mueang district of Phayao, 55 microns
  • Mae Pa sub-district in Mae Sot district of Tak, 57 microns

A sad admission for the so called best city in the known universe for tourists to visit.

Not to mention top ten retirement destination. ????

 

Not to mention south of BKK where it's a nice to for a jog on the beach.????

The Thai government website and app - Air4Thai - uses a 24-hour average for PM2.5 which is typically misleadingly low.  Other sites and apps display 1-hour data, which is more useful.  App reviewers, including Thais, have cottoned on to this as a likely deception by the Thai government, as it makes the air quality situation look much better than it actually is.

So how much longer do you think we have? With all the dogs running free, Covid spreading again, and now the air prolusion is getting thicker and thicker. Maybe it's time for a holiday but where to go?

Is this tantamount to a confession that in 8 years of power, the army is both helpless and indifferent? 

They've been in power for a lot longer than that. 

 

Elected administrations are merely a sham here to appease Western investors.

 

We know exactly who runs this place and how.

Golly gosh! Thais lying to cover up their inadequacies?

Not "lying".  Just the authorities presenting data in a way arguably more beneficial to them than to the public.  Standard operating procedure for almost all government agencies these days ...
