When you read Aljazeera or the Washington Post it sounds like Thailand will be devastated by a powerful Typhoon. Actually Pattaya will be affected marginally, or even not at all. We can see it from the windows, or just looking in the direction of the sea, it is a big mess of clouds just in front of ...

Thanks to the rain, the pollution that was at dangerous levels (red!) went down to moderate! When the government will apply the law and stop these people who are burning their fields and their trash?
