The northern blazes are just getting worse and the government has declared the area an emergency zone as from today. All flights and train are canceled and a total ban on burning has been issued. But still we are getting reports from people that people still burn the rice fields and there garbage despite the risk and danger. The people are just to use to it and they do not know any other way. You should not travel to North Thailand now if you not really have to.
Another warning goes out to fish eaters, there has been a big pollution in on of the fish ponds and the government is afraid that people have picked the fish from the water and sold it as fresh fish. Avoid eating fresh fish for a week at least to the government can track the dangerous fish.
