Will new air-quality laws cure Thailand’s smog-driven health crisis?

All laws in Thailand are ignored. Why even create laws/regulations/rules just to ignore all of them? If only there were an entity that would enforce laws.

If only..

We recently drove around in Isaan - up to Korat to Ubon to Yasothon to Roi Et to Khon Kaen and back again, and then down through Surin and Buri Ram to Korat.  There were less fires (smoke plumes) than there were on previous trips - but there were still fires here and there - some were openly burning their lands near the main roads.  But unless the Thai Airforce water bombs the huge amount of fires in Cambodia and Laos and Myanmar, it aint going to make much difference when the wind comes from their directions.

To answer the headline, no. Since when does anyone take any notice of any laws in Thailand?

Until all of the Asian countries quit burning their cane stubble and other crop

stubble, the problem with air pollution will never improve. Give it another 100 plus years for

all Asian countries to change. Thaiand cannot improve on its own. IMO

Thailand may be unable to change other countries but even a long road starts with a first step.

Not a chance. Ohh yes they will talk the talk ,again like every year ,but it just won’t be followed through

Only 1 thing will help and that is if the tourists (=money) stays away from Thailand. Problem is that most tourists dont know about the air pollution
