Pollution hasn't been too bad until a PM 2.5 reading of 108 µg/m³ on my balcony today.
They get 138 µg/m³ nearby.

I stood on the bay in Bang Saray at 4:30 AM this morning and couldn't see a single light across the bay along the Jomtien shoreline. It was as if there was a major power outage.

That's a first!

Needless to say I put my mask on.

Have been wearing my mask too. The reading hit 180 on a Songthaew on second road. I usually wear a mask on the back of those things even with better conditions.

I decided to invest in a few more masks at Mr DIY, but these are so thin that they collapse every time I breath in. I must remember to buy elsewhere in future.
