The work from home measure, introduced by the Chiang Mai provincial administration yesterday Friday), will continue until Sunday, as the PM2.5 pollution problem in the province has not improved.

 

Governor Nirat Pongsitthavorn announced that, if there is any change to air pollution in the province, the public will be informed.

 

The private and public sectors in the province have been asked to allow their staff to work from home, as long as their absence from the office will not affect their businesses or public services.

Every year!
During the Hot/Burn season the PM 2.5 AQI goes through the roof and we hear empty platitudes and hot-air about solving the problem - then the Rains come and those words are memory holed.
During the Rainy Season/Flooding when Thailand floods, we hear empty platitudes (about water management) and hot-air about solving the problem - then the High Season comes and the rain stops, and those words are memory holed.
Then during the High Season, an inversion layer sets over Bangkok and the PM 2.5 AQI goes through the roof, and we hear empty platitudes and hot-air about solving the problem - then the Rains come months later and those words are memory holed.

Wash, rinse, repeat ad-infinitum - but do nothing but spew hot-air year after year after year.

Where is Greta, XR, and Al Gore?  (silence <crickets chirping> silence)

One step regional ASEAN governments should take is to significantly fine both the farmers who burn their crops as well as to levy massive fines against the Big Ag corporations with whom the farmers are contracted to grow the crops - which after harvest - are burned creating massive environmental damage not to mention creating massive CO2 emissions. 
Privatize profits; socialize environmental damage and pollution.
Why is nothing done?  Perhaps because the government is a stakeholder?  ????
