This has got to be seen .. 10 ltrs of water is 10 kilo's which is fairly hefty plus the weight of the drone .. So maybe one of tomorrow's headlines will be obese drones falling from the sky in Bangkok .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Finally - the antics of the "rulers" here is making international headlines & yes they are laughing at the ridiculous so called fixes, rather than getting to grips with & making a serious attempt at solving the problem! ???? PS I wonder who is "selling" the molasses to them? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government will, of course, be using nothing but the finest, premium quality smog-reduction molasses. Exclusively available from the Somchai & Somchai Trading Co. at the special promotion rate of 15 million Baht per liter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totally thaied up Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I had a Bangkok Thai friend tell me her eyes are burning all the time. She says she wears a mask and tries to protect her lungs but has nothing to protect her eyes. I told her about these drones trying not to laugh and she said to me, "That will be great if it will really work?" That is what we are up against If my friends ask if I live still in Thailand, I am not too sure what to say now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That IS part of the plan, from behind my concrete bunker I ignite the mixture, the blast wave will remove all the smog within a 50 mile radius.............the toxicity may last for decades however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'm wondering how familiar Thai authorities are with basic mathematics. 50 drones X 10 litres equals 500 litres. No idea how many flights the drones can make in a day, how often they need to be refueled/recharged, turnaround time. Do these guys really think they can eliminate a smog layer over 1600 square kilometres? Surface area of Bangkok city proper. That's one drone per 32 square kilometres. Next, I suppose they'll be ordering 50 recruits to put out a forest fire by pissing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
