“You cannot control the weather,” said Dr Suwat Wangwongwatana, the former director general of Thailand’s Pollution Control Department.

 

The weather is not the problem it's the pollution that's the problem.

 

I hope this is the reason he is the former head of the pollution department.

 

:D

Bangkok air full of toxic heavy metals, studies show

 

 

BANGKOK • Bangkok's air is full of toxic heavy metals, researchers have discovered, and it is contributing to year-round hazardous threats to public health.

 

The director of the Centre for Research and Development of Disaster Prevention and Management at Thailand's National Institute of Development Administration on Thursday called on the Thai authorities to set out standards for controlling the emissions of every hazardous heavy metal found in the air.

Dr Siwatt Pongpiachan said his studies have found that Bangkok air contains harmful levels of cadmium, tungsten, arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Minimal haze when I was there. Didn't affect my holiday.

 

Tried somboon Seafood on the 2nd night. Big group so we ordered most of their 招牌菜。 This was the central world branch, so never tried their original branch.

Nothing special. Their fried curry crab, any seafood zichar stall in Sg can do the same. Not even comparing to long beach or what. Their other stuff is really decent only. But the pricing just more friendly to our wallet.
