A plea for help from Chiang Rai
For more than two months, Chiang Rai residents have been subjected to the world’s most polluted and toxic air.
On Friday May 3, the Air Quality Index in Chiang Rai was 318 and the PM2.5 level was 208. In previous weeks it has been worse.
Arsonists are operating with impunity and burning huge swathes of local forests. The local government has lost control of the situation and there is a feeling of lawlessness here.
We are all choking. Please help us.
