If you have ever wondered why Thailand has such poor air quality in the dry season, here is the major cause.
Farmers burning their crop stubble.
Told 1,000 times not to do this by the gov’t, there is NO enforcement in the 1,000’s of villages in rural Isaan.
So the burning continues, the air pollution continues and the farmers doing this do NOT even realize how much they are damaging their own health.
They continue to do things no matter what, because it is the money from the next crop that is more important than their own health.
