You have to love their logic!

Post by PeteC »

Just received a news alert on my cell phone saying that "Chiang Mai municipality plans to bring forward Songkran celebrations to April 1 with the hope that water splashing will help reduce the haze/smoke there."

You really got to love this place!!!!! Pete :lach:

Which are often used in the same manner as water guns, by some people, during drunken celebrations.

That report was on BBC last night and the inference was it's to do with slash and burn techniques that cause such probems in Malaysia and southern Thailand each year when the Indonesians do it.
If that's true, then when will they ever learn? It's all well and good seeing a student nurse in Chiang Mai complaining about the air quality, but totally another when it might have possibly have been caused by the farmers in the area carrying out totally destructive farming methods.

I wondered where the report came from, assumed the date of Thai New Year was sacred, perhaps this is not the case. :shock:

Seems to be a great deal of "forest" fires here in the Kingdom, you can see the remnant's when driving around this province. :shock:

I don't wish to spoil things, but do you not think that there may be some significance concerning the date to which the Songkran celebrations have been brought forward?

Every province has latitude as to when to schedule their water throwing activities around about a 1 week period encompassing the actual Thai New Year day. The Chiang Mai thing is outside those parameters, but an exceptional problem up there. Pete
