ikbenhet Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I have driven from Penang to Surat Thani yesterday and the smog was everywhere along the way. First thought that is was fog but found out, from locals, that it was smog/smoke from Indonesia. Very bad all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
