The school where I work moved the morning assembly from outside to inside today because we could hardly see across the playground.

Don't see that on TAT's press releases.

Chinese triads, Russian gangsters, police extortion, and the third worst air pollution level in the world. Yes, it's high season in Bangkok and Thailand. Come one, come all!

Seems to have gotten "better".

 

I'm pretty sure Chiang Mai is not far behind....:-(

Come on, get N 1. You can!✌️

Everyone relax. They are studying the problem. A full report with a 10 point action item plan will be released soon. In the meantime rogue buses belching black exhaust are being fined as the burning, factories and construction sites fill the skies with soot unrestrained..

Spot the difference ????

 

Why are the tourists notcoming to Bangkok or Chiang Mai???????

I have had the constant smell ( in various degrees ) of burning Plastic now for 3 whole Days, and the Hills are just a smoggy outline.

I can do better than that. Thailand should be ranked No 3 most polluted country in the world.

Plenty of maskless tourists in BKK... Do they really not know?!? Shame!

My wife likes to refer to it as "fog" as she buries her head more deeply into the sand.

Do you actually believe tourists want to wear a mask in that heat or on vacation?
