Thailand Choked by Hazardous Smog as PM2.5 Dust Soars
Photo courtesy of The Weather Channel Thailand is experiencing a severe smog crisis, with hazardous levels of PM2.5 dust enveloping 42 provinces, prompting critical health warnings and urging citizens to remain indoors. As of today, 3rd April, the Air Pollution Resolution Communication Centre released data showing alarming air quality, surpassing safe limits across most of the nation, except for the southern region. The worst-hit areas include the northern provinces like Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Mae Hong Son, where PM2.5 levels skyrocketed up to 268 µg/m³, far above the national safety threshold of 50 µg/m³. The northeastern region also registered concerning levels ranging from 26.8 to 72.6 µg/m³. Meanwhile, central and western provinces, including Bangkok, Ayutthaya, and Kanchanaburi, recorded levels up to 78.3 µg/m³. Unlike the rest, the southern region enjoyed “very good” air quality, with readings as low as 4.5 µg/m³. In Bangkok, notorious for its air pollution, 15 monitoring stations reported levels between 25.5 and 62.9 µg/m³. These figures were jointly collected by the Pollution Control Department and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. Health authorities have quickly responded with urgent guidelines, advising the public to minimise outdoor activities and use N95 masks for protection. Vulnerable groups, including people with respiratory issues, children, and the elderly, should take particular care and seek medical advice if symptoms occur. In high-risk "red zones," the recommendation is to avoid outdoor exposure entirely due to the severe health risks associated with prolonged inhalation of PM2.5, which can lead to significant respiratory and cardiovascular issues. The situation underscores the urgent need for both immediate precautionary measures and long-term solutions to combat air pollution in Thailand, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-03 -

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
Very little to negotiate here, reduce tariffs on one side and they will come down on the other side - do nothing and there's plenty of room for them to increase and match it 1:1 which would be double the current rate. There may be other things to negotiate with from the Thai side though - like that $280 million 'consulate' they built in Chiang Mai -

Thailand at Risk of More Unpredictable Earthquakes, Experts Warn
Fair guess. Regional location is broadly predictable but timing, so far, not so. -

Trump Starts Global Tariff Wall, Thailand Hit with 36% Tax
its the importer that pays the duty and VAT, its not imposed on the US - so yes the importer pays the VAT, when he sells the car, he collect VAT on the sale, and sends the govt the difference so as to claim the original VAT back - its the same as sales tax, US has plenty of that right?
