The levels of carcinogenic particulate matter

Which particles are carcinogenic???? The levels of sensationalism in the media is getting worst than in the tabloid newspaper days. 

 

Another confusion for the uninitiated is the possible confusion in Thailand that the name of the provincial capital and the province is often the same.

This is the PM10 count today in northern Thailand. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this bad. And Dear Leader said he was going to put a stop to this….

Me too. Spent a few very good winters in Chiang Mai in the eighties and nineties, and even planned to retire there. Then came back twice, in the winters of 2007/2008 and 2011/2012, and got bronchitis both times. Needless to say I haven’t been back since.

I assume you have an underlying health condition that prompted your doctor's statement!

 

Not necessarily ....I could imagine a lot of doctors saying get out...why not? If you can? Then why put this kind of filth thru your body ?

Your retirement dream is to live in the most polluted city on earth? I can imagine that people cannot just easily relocate, because of business, work or schooling, but to claim that CM is your retirement dream is rather bizarre.

You can be as alarmist as you want!

I don't care!

I love it here and will continue to ignore the exaggerations of you and your ilk!

Enjoy your new home!
