Agree. Just let them do as they want.... even the monks at the temple next door to me are burning stuff every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick220675 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I don't think a official document written in Thai would stop anyone burning fields. Years ago the last king would talk on TV in great detail about the disadvantages of burning fields. I have found it a comfort that no one listen'd to him, so why would my wife listen to anything I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have some one else do the mailings, preferably in a distant Province - you will get found out, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Memory says that 12 months ago-ish, CM Uni published a study on the burning, stating, words to effect of That it was burning of 'Cane' waste, that was causing the problem. In Thailand, it was not the traditional burning of 'Rice' waste which was comparatively small, compared with the massive amount of waste from 'Cane'. They mentioned that our smog was a relatively 'New' event of say the last 15 years. john Head stuck over parapet and awaiting incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnmcc6 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The illegal burning of forests is most often done to insure a good crop of wild mushrooms when the rains come. The guys doing the burning are often paid to do it at night to avoid getting caught. Some locals desperately need the income from mushrooms. It may not be such a bad idea anyway. Without annual burning trash buildup could cause real damage to homes , livestock and the trees themselves. The burning of rice paddocks and garbage are another matter. They can rarely fine the property owner as it is the hired ones who start most of the fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MyEgo Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 For what its worth, the smoke here where we are is no where near as bad as CM, however a guy down the road burns those trees in a 44 gallon drum which really irritates my throat, sinuses and makes me agro as I have trouble breathing, suffice to say I purchased an air purifier which has helped me breath once again. The other day I started opening doors and windows because I couldn't see any smoke signals over the rood tops, could even go outside without the N95 mask by M3, and I said to the wife, what's with the guy down the road, has he gone away, and her reply was, I went to the mayor and he said he had just spoke to him that morning having had complaints from others over the past week, so he was ahead of her, and it should stop now or else, that and the Mayor said his grandchild of 1 years of age was suffering from asthma, go figure....
