True enough..... I recall it started to bother me maybe 5-6 years ago.....but this year it is very bad, not just seasonal, more perpetual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, don't feel it but no 9km walk this morning. Sorry guys, I seem to have jinxed us with the ill advised comment I made yesterday earlier in this thread - “At least I’ve been able to see Koh Larn all the time, if that’s completely obscured it’s my test for PM2.5 having reached New Delhi levels.” Koh Larn was completely obscured this morning, although I can make it out now through the haze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a viewpoint about 6 miles away from where I am sitting and it's clear as crystal. Cold out but brilliantly sunny day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder some still wear a face mask. Anyone up for a rain dance? N95 face masks are the only ones that help with air pollution. The low medical-grade masks that most ppl use are no good at all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GypsyT Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Do you think this will lead to something? Thai court orders Government to tackle air pollution A court in Thailand on January 19 ordered the government to come up with an urgent plan to curb air pollution within 90 days, as the country braces for its annual peak of noxious haze.
