sceadugenga Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Extremely hazy this morning. Almost foglike. Clouds descending eerily over the bog. Same out at HoySan. Fine drizzle last night and still cold at 9.15am. Big party today, opening of a new building in the temple, that'll warm them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Extremely hazy here on the eastern seaboard today... visibility is maybe 600-700 yards. Please excuse the imperial measurement... I'm a golfer... and Thai golf courses are measured in yards not metres... and I reckon I can see just a bit further than a long par 5 today... but not 2 par 4's.

svenivan Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 It has started to clear up a little bit here in CR. I mean a little bit. Still haze but now I can clearly see the mountain 2 km away and I can see the ones 8-10 km away but not clearly. Maybe just temporary. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toybits Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I think this this the smog I have ever experienced in Chiang Rai. The haze did not use to bother me. But this time my eyes sting from the suspended smoke, and my lungs hurt. I am not a smoker (used to 15 years ago) but this is baaaad. Lots of small fires, low intensity fires going all over the place. As you know, warm air rises. But if the fire is not very intense, the volume of hot air is not enough to take the smoke to higher altitudes. So the smoke from these small fires rise a bit, cool down and then just hang there, almost hugging the ground. This sucks!!! REALLY SUCK! !@#!@#$! Seems that since the rainy season has ended all the mountains are covered with haze that obscures visibility and makes meaningful photography futile. Was up in Doi Tung yesterday and it was very disappointingI've heard about the haze in March, April, May attributable to mountain burning .... but this is November! Does anybody who's lived here long-term know if this haze is here to stay until June 2007 and the next rainy season? I've read websites such as 1stopchaingmai.com and GT-rider.com, and they say that this time of year (especially December) is the best for photography. But, it seems the opposite is true! Anybody know the real scoop on the haze? Is it everywhere in N. Thailand, will it go away for a while? Thanks All! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenivan Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 It is getting worse again. The thunderstorm a week ago took away some of the smoke but the fires are still on in the mountains, in the fields an on the roadside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 You CR and CM lot have my deepest sympathies, this isn't just haze you have but pollution. I remember when the forest fires were so bad in Indonesia that the haze reached as far as Koh Phangnan. The air smelled and when my husband went out fishing in his boat he said by about 1km out he could barely make out Koh P anymore. Easy to get lost in the ocean if you can't see where anything is Hope all of you don't suffer long-term health problems because of the smoke.

sceadugenga Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Listen up you guys, I'm back in Chiang Rai in 2 weeks and if the airs not clear I am going to kick butt.

svenivan Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I noticed today that I cannot see the mountains at the horizont. It cannot come from burning in Thailand, Laos or Burma. Must be some sh!t from China. We all remember the haze in Jan - April. Will it be worse this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileycoyote Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I hope it doesn't get bad. Is there any rain due ? Wiley Coyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I noticed it this morning and we had some heavy rain yesterday. Still a fair bit to come I hope (rain), between now and New Year is always my favorite time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I also thought I saw haze here this morning and then realized it was simply the spray from the ocean waves reflecting off the glorious sunrise below a perfectly blue sky. I was mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 No, same same. The winds steady out of the North though, possibly does come from China. Too early for burning here I'd like to say but if it don't rain in the next couple of days the Grannies will be raking up the leaves again.
