In 2019, Thailand experienced some of the worst air pollution levels on record. AQI (air quality index) ratings often exceeded 200 - anything over 100 is considered unhealthy - and isolated recordings in the north ventured close to 500. Part of the reason for this were numerous forest fires ablaze throughout the northern mountains near the Thai-Myanmar border. Drought and changing weather patterns caused a perfect storm of easily burnable forest and thick clouds of smoke that became trapped in the valleys. Teams of fire-fighters worked round the clock, day after day, with very basic equipment to try and keep the fires in check.
