Yep,  when I was living in CM about 5 years ago the burning season wasn't the nicest. 

 

Yet they say it's down 79 percent over recent times... maybe due to 79 percent less forest to burn?  

 

Damn I love it when they try and manipulate stats without giving the whole picture. 

 

Still.... I think CM is a good place to be.

The extended 'winter' cool period is a natural fire suppressant.  Wait for the hot season to kick in with lightning strikes and squalls.

We are still in January...... when would it be 'extended'?

Forest fires are not the same as intentional hotspots…

 

the % of smoke generated by a true forest fire (accidentally man made or by nature) is a fraction compared to intentional burns….

 

please get the language correct and don’t mislead the public

On the Nan Phayao north loop trip (HWY 1148) a couple days back. Big swaths of recently burned new growth scrub forest. Poor region so what you going to do? Stop the Ban Nok people from getting some mushroom money when the rains come.
