A HUGE forest fire at Chiang Mai’s Ob Luang National Park is spreading widely after officials failed to extinguish it for two days due to difficult access with villagers who secretly started small fires to gather forest products to blame, TV Channel 7 said today (Feb. 25).

 

The forest fire is mainly spreading in Pha Dam area of this national park next to Road 108 that links Chiang Mai’s Hot district to Mae Hong Son’s Mae Sariang district with one mountain covered with flames and clearly visible from the road at night.

 

Mr. Suparerk Lertlucksirikul, head of Ob Luang National Park, said the area where the fire is raging, Pha Dam, is difficult to reach with the cliffs being steep which led to the blaze spreading quickly.

Time the governor and Poo Yais got serious with the locals.

The level of intelligence in the thai general populace is nothing compared to the level of their greed .

Primitive , stupid population , only led by their greed , ignoring the damage they do ... all for some mushrooms .

Uneducated selfish fools at work .

Too many people.

You know this , I know this ... many know ...

I would not be surprised by the appearance of a new pandemic , this time with a genetically modified viral  strain that becomes absolutely lethal .

An antidote will become available only for the selected few ...?

May be it is time for this ...?

If AI ever reaches a level to find and imply logical solutions to the world's problems , it would eliminate the worst : overpopulation .

A general reboot is urgently needed  .
