N95 masks in Chiang Rai?

[pollnow]

Anyone know where to find good masks against the smoke that starts to fill the air? I'm a bicyclist and heard that it something called "N95" that you need against the smoke (not the same as against car fumes).

I use these disposable masks found at 7-Eleven.

There's an Agricultural store about 100 M south of the Mae Korn (Little Duck) junction. It's on the northbound side.

They have a good range of 3M masks including refills.

Good luck.

I found some n95 masks at Modern Drugstore near the night market. 35 bhat each. Tried it out today and even though a bit hot it worked just fine. The problem they say with the normal masks you find at seven eleven, is that they might be good for pollution from cars, but not smoke from burning cause they have different sized particles. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/~/3M-VFlex-Health-Care-Particulate-Respirator-and-Surgical-Mask-1805S-N95-Small-400-Case?N=7576198+8690968+3294348444+3294529207&rt=rud

If I want a mask to be able to walk five miles or so a day without choking on the smoke which type mask would be ok? Is this N 95 what i want or do i need something more high tech? Or am I dreaming and just forget the walking? Advice appreciated as I have never tried any of the masks.

We like the cheap 3-layer Green House masks at Lotus. And they're comfortable.
