The air quality in one northern Thai city has improved after a recent storm, although some areas of the city are damaged.

 

Locals in the city of Lampang were able to see Doi Farang peak this morning (Sunday). Doi Farang is a high peak within the Doi Phra Bat mountain range towering nearly 900 metres above sea level. The area, located in Khelang Nakhon National Park, Phichai District, Lampang Province, had been obscured from view for over a month due to the persistent haze from ongoing wildfires.

This improvement in air quality came after a torrential rainstorm swept through various areas of Lampang Province on yesterday evening.

The smoke comes and goes, the rains come and goes, yet the inept governor seems to be able to stay..
