Check out this almost unbelievable time-lapse of wildfire smoke consuming the World Trade Center and the New York City skyline. Those vulnerable to poor air quality, including seniors and young children, should limit time outdoors if possible. More: AirNow.gov

Thai netizens (ชาวเน็ต) are quite perplexed about who “Christopher Kelland” is on this sign held by protesters in front of the US embassy in Bangkok today… He is accused of creating conflict in Thailand… (Screen capture by @Nok_KN)

@benjalord @BkkGreg axa.co.th/axa-sawasdee-t… PS. Im not with AXA anymore but they provide one of the best travel insurance I’ve personally experienced in the market. ;)

Travel friends, my dear Ma is visiting Thailand later this year and she needs travel insurance. Many don’t cover 65+ - are there any good ones I can look into?

#BREAKING: #ThaiProtest activist Tantawan “#ตะวัน” Tuatulanon is granted bail and will be released later today, according to fellow activist @PanusayaS. The 20-year-old has been on hunger strike since Apr 20 in protest of her detention for #lesemajeste. #WhatsHappeningInThailand

@sapparotti Lol genius

Anti-war protests in support of Ukraine today in Bangkok. They were planning to march from Lumphini Park to the newly opened Benjakiti Park.

JUST IN: Thailand to relax #COVID19 requirements for international travellers from Mar 1: 1) 2nd PCR test will be replaced with self-administered antigen test 2) Travel insurance coverage to drop from US$50K to US$20K

ในเชิงโครงสร้าง เคสของคุณ #ปวีณ ควรจะนำไปสู่การผลักดันกม.คุ้มครอง #whistleblower ในไทยอย่างจริงจัง ไม่ใช่แค่บอกอย่างไร้ค.รับผิดชอบว่ากลับมาแล้วจะคุ้มครองให้ อยากให้พรรคกม. ภาคปชชและNGO ผลักดันเรื่องนี้ค่ะ เพราะคงหวังอะไรจากรบ.นี้ไม่ได้ #ค้ามนุษย์โรฮิงญา

Applications for the “Test&Go” scheme for fully vaccinated travelers to Thailand re-opens tomorrow (Feb 1), now with a mandatory hotel quarantine and PCR tests on the first night after arrival and on the 5th day after entry. twitter.com/nnthotnews/sta…

UPDATE: @oc_ccsa announces the resumption of the “Test&Go” scheme for vaccinated travelers from selected countries for nearly quarantine free entry. Registrations re-opens on Feb 1, with now PCR tests required on days 1 (post-arrival) and 5.

Meanwhile, the @oc_ccsa is scheduled to deliberate on new #COVID19 measures, mainly the return of the “Test&Go” scheme for tourists that was suspended before Christmas due to #Omicron: thaipbsworld.com/resumption-of-…

So is test & go back yet?

Good morning, #Bangkok! It's another day of high air pollution – Bangkokians have more than one reason to mask up. 😷

Thailand needs an overarching air pollution law. The Clean Air Act to be considered by parliament later this month could be the answer, so let's support broader political engagement and focus on this issue. Dirty air affects everyone, we have a right to breathe without worry.

@MarcusBurtBKK @BangkokDi It’s really bad this morning ☹️

The weather forecast shows the wind is due to change to a southerly so hopefully we will get cleaner sea air over the next few days. With government inaction on sources of smog, all we can do is rely on the weather...

A reminder that in September this year, the WHO tightened its guideline "safe" level of 24 hour PM2.5 exposure to 15mgm/m3. We're at 85 and climbing!
