How many terrible dieters are wearing masks when preventable heart disease, #1 killer, doesn't faze them in the least. Many more things gonna kill many more people here than the smog....like driving. Wear a mask... I don't wonder these things at all. Smokers, bad eaters, those with heart disease- they are the people affected the most by smog and it stands to reason they should be concerned about the comulative effects of their daily habits in concert with the environmental hazards they choose to live with. I eat mostly vegetarian, don't drink or smoke, and own a couple N-95 masks. I also left the dream of living in Chiang Mai for the southern islands...

ozmeldo Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I just stay indoors as much as possible. Thai government and economists will be happy to know with all the visa extension bs and this air pollution that will NEVER go away I won't be buying a condo in Bangkok. Absolutely resigned and resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen people wearing masks whilst running in the parks? i presume those not wearing masks are mainly smokers, cannot see why they would bother ( not talking about joggers here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I just have to live with it. I wear mask if it seems really bad but getting my 3 year old to wear his is difficult. Other than moving away, which is not a realistic option for me, it's just one of the downsides of living here.Sent from my SM-A500F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
