FireMedic Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've been in Nonthaburi since May. I don't remember seeing the amount of pollution on the drive into BKK over the last few months. The last week or so has been terrible and you can hardly see the buildings a few hundred meters away. My eyes have felt weird too, all dry and itchy feeling. Is there a smoggy season that comes and goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumply Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The long term expats have got so accustomed to it (especiallly in Chang Mai) that they hardly notice it. Worringly most of them don't know what damage such conditions have already done to their lungs. The problems will come later in life for sure. A couple of choking months in HGK sent me scurrying for fresher air. What a relief! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheMysteriousMrTesla Posted October 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2014 Many of us who travel a lot refer to places by their airport codes, yes HGK is Hong Kong, BKK is of course Bangkok, CNX Chiang Mai. Is it lazy? Perhaps. Is it acceptable? IMHO - Yes. Do you write etcetera in full? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The smoggy season starts in January and runs through the end of December. Started early this year in Pattaya. Air is so smoggy you can practically cut it with a knife. I thought at first it was farmers burning their fields, guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Even when I was down in KL it was horrible from the burning. It's gotta be from fires around us somewhere because it was so thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coota Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Oi am living in rural Surin and I am struggling to breath and have developed a nagging cough. The dry/cool season is just beginning and there is little wind so a lot of people are burning and lighting fires for warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less if you use initials or airport codes to identify a city, but as someone who spends a lot of time in Hong Kong, the airport code is not HGK, it's HKG. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggt Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Go to a local clinic...tell the Dr. if you are having breathing problems... I use MEPTIN 50mg 1/2 tab morning and night...it is proactive treatment of breathing problems...which can lead to asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia.. I have not had to go back to the clinic for congestion...since... Goof Luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireMedic Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 My breathing is fine so far....but my eyes are on fire. I bought some Refresh MD eye drops, but they aren't helping so much. I would imagine this is how people with environmental allergies feels.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai20144 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) The Air in Nonthaburi is much cleaner and fresher that central Bangkok, I travel out there once a week and the Different in Air Quality is unbelievable, Bangkok needs to start using Cleaner engines in the Buses and Canal Boats etc . Would be a start. Edited October 16, 2014 by thai20144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireMedic Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Is it sugar cane burning season now? When you fly from BKK to Chaing Mai and you see all the fires burning, what are they burning off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keesters Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The smoggy season starts in January and runs through the end of December. Started early this year in Pattaya. Air is so smoggy you can practically cut it with a knife. I thought at first it was farmers burning their fields, guess not. I see no air in Pattaya being smoggy as long as you stay clear of the street vendors barbequing their pork/chicken etc. But then I've been here 30 years so maybe I'm used to it.
