Air Quality depends a lot on wind direction

Sakon Nakhon 151
With the slightest wind there's a lot of dust in the air during the dry season. I witness that very obviously on my white tiled pool, which requires twice weekly cleaning to turn grout white.

Drive along any of the local highway construction sites and you get a snout full of dust, especially if you're on a motorcycle.  
Then of course there's yard waste burning

Occasionally these things get out of control

The AQI readings, especially for PM 2.5, are alarmingly high for Sakon Nakhon this week. Best to stay indoors with doors and windows closed. Wear at least a N95 certified face mask when venturing outdoors.
