"Thai agribusinesses have a high degree of culpability for burning in neighbouring countries, such as Laos & Myanmar, due to their investments & introduction of #contractfarming schemes there. However.. no government has ever held these #agribusinesses accountable or penalised them for the burning. A good example Thailand could follow is #Singapore's 2014 #Transboundary Haze #Pollution Act that targets the business sector"

This past week, two of Thailand's largest cities, Bangkok and Chiang Mai, earned the ignominious privilege of being among the 10 cities of the world with the worst air quality during that period. The Ministry of Public Health has blamed air pollution for causing 200,000 hospital admissions in the past week alone.
