    2,000 rai of land burned by fire in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park

    Over 2,000 rai of land has been burned by a fire that raged through Doi Suthep-Pui National Park before being extinguished today, March 19 at around lunchtime.


    The fire is believed to have been started by mushroom burners on Tuesday and raged through hills behind the Huay Tung Tao Reservoir.


    Efforts to extinguish the fire were overseen by Governor Mr. Charoenrit Sanguansat particularly as at one stage it threatened the controversial court housing project in Don Kaeo, Mae Rim.


    Royal Thai Army soldiers along with firefighters and national park staff battled the fire for two days, finally bringing it under control today.


    Surveillance patrols are in the area to make sure that there are no further flare-ups or people once again trying to set the national park on fire.


    The intensity of the fire on the edge of the Chiang Mai Metro area saw PM 2.5 smog levels climb to nearly 20 times safe levels, making Chiang Mai one of the most polluted cities in the world.

    Decimation, pure and simple, shoot one in ten of the fuckers and hang their corpses from the trees as a warning 'pour encourager les autres".

    Brute, terminal violence is the only lesson these retards understand.

    We look out on the mountains from Doi Patang down to ChiangKong. There hasn't been a single night with out fires in the hills.

    The air in the morning is abominable. I asked a friendly cop what the go was and he answered "mushrooms, must grow mushrooms".

    I mentioned the fact that many people, particularly the elderly had died recently due to respiratory problems, he replies that that was "just the virus".

    I asked him if the smoke laden poisonous air might have had a detrimental affect?

    He went to some length to explain to me that the local government had it all under control and every one was safe.

    I them pointed out that the various maps identifying the virus showed nothing, zero, zilch in our area.

    He shook my hand and said. "see you later.".

    CJ, i hope you gave him a slug of ethanol and a squirt of peroxide before engaging in such risky discourse.

    They're now burning the rice fields in preparation for the ploughing prior to the expected rains come May. The only thing Thais don't burn is their household rubbish. That's reserved for tossing out the car window once they leave the villages.

    something lost in Translation for silly English speaking natives I am afraid,

    nobody in the French literature and French teaching world is pitching that phrase as some example, extracted from Candid it seems

    funny how you English people would use that "generic" quote as some kind of "meaningful" phrase

    a lot of better quotes in other Voltaire work, including in Candid
