Bangkok Air Pollution

ThailandGuru.com > History, Culture, Situation > Dis / Advantages > Pollution 

Stand in one place, and there will periodically be vehicles like this, mainly green buses, other buses (like the white one below), private commercial vehicles, private cars and even motorcycles.


The reasons are as follows:

• Lax police and government enforcement of pollution control
• Poor vehicle maintenance -- owner neglect, unwillingness to budget, bad maintenance service providers
• Incompetence of the BMTA (Metro Transit Authority) in getting its maintenance operations to overhaul engines

When the traffic light turns green, a big cloud of pollution rises and takes a few minutes to dissipate.

If you must walk on a main road, be sure to walk up-wind.

If you have respiratory problems, then go live by the seaside.
