SMOG IS BACK
Chiangmai has made it to the top 10 list of the world's worst cities for smog, and that's not a badge of honor I want for my city. But the government's not sitting idly by; they're taking some measures to tackle the problem. They're providing face masks to protect people and launching campaigns to encourage responsible waste disposal and discourage burning. Moreover, they're planning to put a ban on crop waste burning, increase the penalties for breaking pollution laws, and have stricter regulations for vehicle emissions. Realistically, we may just have to wait it out because I don't have much faith in the Thai government's ability to tackle this issue quickly.
