Bangkok: a Fierce Anger about dirty air

In Bangkok Smog for ever-larger Problem, and the population about the bad air is always angry. A Trouble that could be in the upcoming election reflect.

The brahmin dancers in their colorful costumes before the magnificent flowers of the altar, a fresh colour spot in the grey centre of Bangkok. Her vocals and the drums have a hard time against the infernal traffic noise. The sun tried in vain to penetrate through the yellowish haze. A lot of pedestrians wearing breathing masks, 400 schools were closed because of the fine dust load.

air quality index attests to Bangkok the Status "unhealthy".

The air quality index is 170 - which is "unhealthy". Still far from New Delhi endangers the hard-to-health 390. But for Bangkok, it is the worst of the Smog, the people there have ever experienced, and the decisive issue on the road. And the six weeks before the presidential elections.

Smog will disappear in three years,

The people were very, very angry, says the Journalist Pravit Rojanapruk:

"The military junta has today promised that the Smog would be gone in three years. Three years, can you imagine? The reactions in social media were devastating! So in the sense of: If you need people in the government actually, so long, you should have a go maybe."

a year ago, the Thais would have dared such an open criticism of the military junta. But the fear gives way to anger festers in the country. The Smog is another drop in a barrel full of disappointments and broken promises.

government makes clouds vaccinate

the air pollution is a consequence of the attempt to bring the sluggish Thai economy back on track. Dust and dirt of the hundreds of construction sites mix with factory and car exhaust and the smoke abgeflammter fields of Grain.

The government now clouds with salts and chemicals used to vaccinate, so that the artificial rain across washes away all the dirt. Used it has yet.... For the upcoming new year, it was recommended that on fireworks. To ban it completely, don't trust seems to be the Junta. to vaccinate

clouds, has so far brought nothing, now, drones, artificial rain, spraying in Bangkok's streets.

elections are before

is Now to be expected really that the anger of the population is sweeping the military government from office. Thailand is a dictatorship and the upcoming election, neither democratic nor fair: the Opposition is hampered, the media are subject to strict censorship, critics need to fear arrest.

also the Junta dangerous - especially as even once-loyal supporters of the Army chief and present Prime Minister Chan-o-cha Prayut to turn away, as Thitima Bundhumasuta:

"Everything is just blah-blah-blah. We had hoped in fact, the military bring back peace to our torn country. But nothing has changed, Thailand is still on the ground. Everything has changed, is that the air is now dirty. You know what? I turn on the TV. I've seen in ages is no more news. I choose not to. I prefer to hear Beethoven or Mozart."
