CityNews – On 27th November 10.30 a.m. at Royal Park Ratchapruek, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Wichet Kasemthongsri, presided over the conference named “9 Provinces Reducing Bushfires and Smog” which was the co-operation between nine governors from nine provinces in the north of Thailand: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, Lampang, Phrae, Nan, Mae Hong Son, Phayao and Uttaradit, together with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

Kasemthongsri said that the changing weather could lead to bushfire and smog so people must be prepared. Also, better strategies on how to reduce bushfire and smog must be utilized since their affects tend to get worse each year. 

During January and April this year it was found that in Northern Thailand, more people suffered from respiratory system and skin disease. In terms of tourism, 150 flights were cancelled due to the bad weather. Therefore this year, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment demanded that every province act together to reduce the problem.
