30,000 tons of corn husks about to be burned?  Surely they mean 30,000,000 tons

looks like the Nation timed the article fairly well. Indeed the "air" has arrived.

Took a walk around the moat this morning after dropping my truck off for a service.  Hazy, yes, but felt no ill effects that I would normally suffer if working in smog for 90 minutes.  Very pleasant walk, traffic fairly light.  Don't often get into town.  It was a nice reminder of how beautiful Chiang Mai is.  Air around Thaepae Gate felt dusty / dirty, but the rest very nice.  But please, can the city authorities bury all the electrical cables.....
