fresher Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Here we go again. 1st February, people in CM with violent sneezing fits, masks back in use (3M have run out!), me with stinging eyes and smokey throat and Doi Suthep well into its annual disappearing act. Bangkok has gained international recognition for its innovative counter-offensive with water spraying hoses, drones and official prononsements. I trust Chiang Mai will rise to the challenge and soon be just as news-worthy with even higher numbers and some great new ideas of its own. Any suggestions?

chingmai331 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Can you imagine a million drones hovering over CM, each lugging 1 liter of moat water? On universal command all dump their load simultaneously, for a 5 second cooling city shower. Let's crowdfund the drone network.. Send me PM and i'll give you an address for your contribution.

FredLee Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I live about 35 km north of Chiang Mai city, and it has become very hazy here the last few days. Much more than this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year without fail everyone says it's worse than last year - but it's not. It's verifiably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pull the air purifier out of storage until last night. The burning eyes while in the house and a look outside convinced me that 'it's that time yet again.' We'll be looking forward to the rainy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly other places in Thailand that do not have these issues. No passport is necessary to go. I agree with the poster. There are other options for most Thai citizens.
