funlovinkid Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm wondering if anyone can comment on what the air quality in the Nong Khai area is like. I know that many cities in northern Thailand (like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai) are severely affected every year by smoke from the controlled burning that takes place all over Myanmar, Laos, and northern Thailand in the February - April period, but does it affect Nong Khai as well?

gotlost Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) affected every year by smoke from the controlled burning that takes place There is nothing and I mean nothing that is controlled about those burns. :lol: Nong Khai, its bad but nothing like Chiang Mai or Northern Thailand. Nong Khai is in Northeast Thailand and further south than Chiang Mai. Edited September 22, 2010 by gotlost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prajak Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 No. No problems in Nongkhai town. Smell of cars and tuktuk's but their noice is worse. And in the hills no smoke in the way other parts of the country suffer. Yes, they sometimes burn rice fields but people here have small ricefields, one or two ngaan, and than you smell smoke just one day. That's the way they work here. Some fields are with rice, some fields are resting, some fields will be burned and than they start working with the iron buffalo. I live 8 km from town and never had a problem with my longs.
