So, what measures are being taken to tackle this dire situation? None. Precisely zero. The people need to awaken and rise up. FFP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Talking about this year after year is like talking about the road deaths. Nothing will or is going to change. Every year till we die, CM will have this problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sletraveler Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The pm2.5 here in Faro Portugal is 16, a bit breezy, about 16c and a light surf. ????. No garbage, little traffic, inexpensive wine, great food. Not missing my home in Chiang Mai one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fires started by these storms that Thai Met bureau keep telling us that are here. Funny that all the weather radars show no storm activity at all across all of Thailand. I can tell you that in Lamphun Province where I live the forest underbrush is burned every year. Locals set it on fire to promote growth of mushrooms that they pick. Mushroom picking easily earns them more than the 350 baht they make painting all day. As the old thai proverb says “if it can burn, burn it” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aussiepeter Posted March 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2020 Heh sletraveler, if it ever becomes safe to travel again by air after the "virus," we might just give that place in Portugal a look for a visit. My family will never ever return to LOS, as the air pollution in Saraphi nearly killed me (throat cancer) but I do still like the odd glass of wine. You are right about the fires in C Mai. The mushrooms are called "het" (mushroom) and "top" (I've no idea) and grow after the jungle is burned off and, it has been that way in the far north for a hundred years or more. All this terrible xxxx air pollution is caused by illegal burning of crop residue - the mushroom producing burning just adds a little bit extra to the nice 'cosy feeling' of living seven-days-a-week in a garbage tip. Northern Thailand is finished as a place to either live, work, own a house or raise a family - anyone who tries to say otherwise is either permanently intoxicated, a liar, or is under some sort of failed self-delusion from days gone by. When I first came to CM in 1987, I thought I'd found a paradise - it was then called "the rose of the north". Thirty-three years on .... urrrrgh ! Utter filth 24/7. Not just a few months a year any more, it is every month. Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Everywhere. So sad to see the demise of such a once lovely place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesekraft Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 covid is definitely helping to reduce air pollution levels, we have that going for us at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
