Popular Post snoop1130 Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin announced yesterday his intention to submit a plan designed to address the issue of PM2.5 fine dust within a 90-day deadline set by the Chiang Mai Administrative Court. The court order followed a formal complaint lodged by a northern network of individuals, requiring the Thai prime minister and the national environmental panel to draft the plan. PM Srettha stated that officials would be brought in to discuss and draft the plan as per the court’s directive. The 61 year old PM also reported significant progress in improving Chiang Mai’s air quality since various agencies across the nation began addressing the issue. “We have done our best, and the PM2.5 fine dust level fell by four to five times.” About the fine dust level, government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke stated that the level in the Chang Phueak subdistrict of Chiang Mai’s Muang district was recorded at 16.7 microgrammes per cubic metre on Sunday. This figure represents a substantial decrease from the average of 53 microgrammes per cubic metre recorded on January 21, 2020.

Yes, isn't it strange it has never been discussed, and no plan put forward over the past 9 or so years the AQI has drastically deteriorated. It's not as though the problem just happened this year. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the officials enforce the plan, nothing will change. The pick-up seatbelt law & black windscreen law are never enforced by possibly the laziest police force in the world. Question: What could be easier than spotting a plume of smoke then arresting the owner of the field?

Popular Post rudi49jr Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 “PM Srettha to submit PM2.5 dust plan within court’s 90-day deadline” Of course he will!! (sarcasm alert) But even if he does, if it’s going to be enforced like all the other laws and regulations in Thailand (i.e.: not), we’re still no closer to a solution to this problem. They’ve been going at it for over 20 years, but have achieved nothing. On the contrary, the smog just gets worse and worse. I am now in Hua Hin, and until just a few years ago the air quality here hasn’t been too bad, but lately it’s just as bad as up north. I’m quite sure there have been laws in place for quite some time now, which will allow the authorities to go after those who burn and/or pollute and fine the culprits. But they just sit on their thumbs. It’s such a shame, because large parts of the country are becoming unlivable for 5-6 months a year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HaoleBoy Posted January 23 Popular Post Share Posted January 23 Need a way to link the biggest burns from overhead pic's to who actually owns the land and link it back to the agro-businesses. But, this gov would never fine these companies ... i.e., CP. The big companies buy up land and let the local farmers farm them (in Thailand and Myranmar). The big companies could buy proper equipment to use after the harvest of corn, sugarcane, and rice) in a co-op manner. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattjock Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 In 90 days the burning season will be over and SW monsoon will start so there will be no PM 2.5 problems anyway.

God forbid the health and well-being of the citizenry should factor in. And I imagine they rather think it's not a problem for them, in the their airconditioned, air-purified ivory towers and motorised conveyances. But, like covid, it affects everyone living in the country. Every single person, rich or poor, hiso or loso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I exercise my mind on this issue frequently, and I think have substantially concluded that if you're going to live in Thailand, (a developing country), you need to live in Bangkok, which is as good as a city in the "first world"; (they all have issues).
