As long as Thais keep on wearing masks in public the risk should still be very low. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we not have high pollution levels during the 1st wave? I do believe so. And was there a serious outbreak of Covid 19? I don't think so. So why should there be any great risk of a serious outbreak this time? Especially now that the country is well prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't suffer from the usual smokey period here in the Rai this year.I have noticed that the amount of traffic is significantly lower though .Also the borders are still more or less closed, so maybe less pollution.

It’s not the traffic, IMO, the problem in smog season come from burning lands and forest. Also China, where the East winds cover Thailand with very high levels of Pollution. Last year, a few cities in North became the worsts in the world ranking. The borders can be closed but the traffic of ilegal migrants from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar is daily running and there nobody is tested.
