bbi1 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Woke up this morning and was alerted that today's air quality in Bangkok is over 150 on the US AQI. Time to stay indoors again or use a N95 mask when going outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Depends where you are. In central Bangkok it's still "moderate" (95 US AQI) as it has been for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Come to sunny north east Issan. Right now our nearest AQI monitoring station says we're in the green at 42. Time for a nice country walk. Have a nice day all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS21 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My meter is showing 2.5 readings ... Indoors .... under 40 At my gate ...mid 40's Except when pickup drives past...high 50's I live in a village off Prachachuen Rd not far from its junction with ChaengWattana.... Have to assume that my meter is correct...it does go down to nearly 0 after a while when I used an air purifier in the bedroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of it grows right around us. But I don't know were you get the idea that they eat dogs though @Jip99. Maybe it's so in the Vietnamese communities as I believe they have a taste for canine dishes. But not in my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regrettably?, from early experiences of Pattaya bar/massage workers. Whenever Sakhon Nakhon was mentioned as a home town the subject of “kin ma” also cropped up. I imagine it is probably more of a rural village thing and I know it happens in my own province of Buriram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you've hit on the right area as there is quite a large Vietnamese presence in Sakon Nakhon province. The northern shore of Nong Han Lake is almost entirely Vietnamese. But I've never heard of 'kin ma' in my area to the east of Sakon Nakhon. Must mention the lovely clear air here again before someone shouts 'off topic'. ????

Emdog Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Personally, I use the NBTI (nose blow tissue index) to figure local pollution levels. Has been rather brown of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenon Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Do air cons filter out the pollution? Is the air quality much better indoors? Why, if not due to the air cons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrilled Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Are you trying to tell us something we don’t know. Add up all the vehicles. Look at the smoke coming out the back of many vehicles. I would never live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year or so the government culled many soidogs who were rabies infested. Next day some locals had dug them up and ate them on the bbq.... It was written here on the forum...

Get tired of guys like you. OK fair cop. I hadn't seen or heard of that article. But you did say it was 'written here', not that it was a news article. Was is notable is that there is a sizable Vietnamese community in that area as we were discussing earlier. They are, of course 'naturalized Thai citizens now, so they would qualify as 'Thai youths'. The Vietnamese are well known for being dog eaters. Sorry for doubting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenCurryorDie Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Getting back to BKK air quality... this is raining on my parade.

bbi1 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Youlike said: BKK air is very bad again today......???? Yep, about 150 on the US AQI scale today. Thai people don't seem concerned though the past few days or ever since many months ago when the news were talking about it. Only the usual few wearing surgical masks which do nothing. Thai people don't care anymore or the news haven't been covering the pollution levels these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would move if I could, but my job is here. At least it's not as bad as Delhi, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teach them young and you should succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
