The rich (who run the place )don't care at all , same as in India , they just move out or have the best air purification systems in their million dollar homes ,meanwhile business as usual and blame someone else , while making themselves look good !

I guess it's a good science experiment, as long as the government doesn't promote it as a way to solve, or even alleviate, the problem in the near future.

Probably the most hair-brained "attempt" to lower air pollution since the Jakarta city government's recent mandate that skyscrapers spray water mist off their roofs.

Until they stop burning off in these areas, and reduce millions of dirty and polluting vehicles, these cities will remain shockingly dangerous to live in.

Not only the farmers burning stubble.

Many Thais burn all manner of refuse ranging from plastics to car tyres which emit dense black smoke.

Tired vehicle engines and low maintenance added to high speed driving add to the mix.

Rules are not applied in Thailand adequately and pollution is just getting worse…
