Hi, I'm attending the monthly meditation retreat at the I.D.C. next to Wat Suan Mokkh (in forest around Surat Thani/Chaiya) on 1st-10th November, just how bad is this pollution, i.e. is it possible it may be cancelled due to its severity?

I ask on TV because the centre isn't very good at keeping up with correspondence and there's nothing on the net regarding announcements or Forum chat.

Cheers

Pity it's not North West. Australia would cop it then, and THEY might do something about it.

The NE monsoon should be blowing in by then...hopefully. Once it starts, haze is blown back into Indo.

Usually arrives at the end of Oct ,early Nov.

Very rare to be delayed beyond that timeframe.

I am super relieved to hear that, this has been on the calendar for months would hate to have to cancel. Thanks and much appreciated

Truth. We'd have the whole thing fixed by lunch time.

I heard Malaysian officials are blaming scantily clad tourists for making the gods angry and have enlisted a crack division of Bomoh armed with bamboo binoculars to find and punish the culprits.
