The elephants are still having fun in the #JungleBubble Lodge, thanks to Travel + Leisure for bringing the family! travelandleisure.com/anantara-jungl…

In 2019 the #Smog season cost #ChiangRai 46,000,000,000 baht in direct health losses alone, not counting lost tourism, tax loss through migration, loss of real estate value etc. etc, #ChiangMai lost more: prachachat.net/local-economy/… #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis

Happy #Songkran & general #Buddhist #NewYear everyone. Such a better time to celebrate renewal & regeneration than the dead of winter!

3mm in the big storm with a sprinkle last night brings us to 7.5mm for April. The average would be 109mm so, even though some areas are reporting heavier downpours, these are not yet #Drought breakers. #NorthThailand #Mekong #Watershed #ChiangSaen #Weather

#ThosePeskyNeighbours leaving stuff lying around, waiting to smuggle it across the #Mekong . Does seem incredibly careless: bangkokpost.com/thailand/gener…

Dear PM Srettha Thavisin & @ChiangRaiGov, Happy New Year! Can you please explain why this villager from #SobRuak , #ChiangSaen is allowed to send our #AQI over 600 for an hour during a festival season & burning ban? #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis

Gust up to 46.1kph last night, 2nd fastest recorded (55kph 11th May 2020). Very little rain though, much sound & fury, no #Drought breaking. Still refreshing. #NorthThailand #Mekong #Watershed

This I like, thinking out of the box to reduce litter:

4.5mm 🌧️ over the past few days very welcome & has brought the #AQI down to average 186 yesterday, hovering at 150 today. However April is a 190mm average rainfall month, these windy squalls don’t feel like #Drought breakers. Hope I’m wrong. #Mekong #Watershed #NorthThailand

Wind up to 35kph at about 9pm, residual heat so the small 🌧️ mostly evaporated as it hit the ground, still cooled everything down. #AQI is 167, Unhealthy still, this morning & the🔥 are still burning, a respite from Hazardous. #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis

Thank you for bringing your water, it will be much appreciated:

Seems a journo in #ChiangMai finally got fed up with hearing the Governor talk up the Air Quality with a straight face, more power to her: fb.watch/rkCkzIjyCw/ #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis

Meanwhile, clinging to silver linings, we enjoyed having no ‘Hazardous half hours’ & even an hour of ‘just’ unhealthy air on the joint hottest day of the year (41.3C) yesterday! Yay! iqair.com/thailand/chian… #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis

Nothing particularly surprising in this (except that an airline pilot seems surprised) but the more people who say it as they see it the less possible it is for the Gov.t to pretend it isn't happening. #NorthThailand #AirPollution #Crisis thaipbsworld.com/pilot-describe…

...would love to look down my nose at this behaviour, but given the state of me yesterday, I think this is now my plan for the rest of the week:

You know you’re in #NorthThailand in April when you can celebrate that for only 3 1/2 hour periods yesterday was the air actively hazardous! #AirPollution #Crisis iqair.com/thailand/chian…
