Tan's favorite academic subject

My academic subject is about pollution in Thailand. Since Thailand's economy has been dramatically develop over the past few decades. There are many factories built and many areas are transformed into towns. Many towns are transformed into cities. However, unfortunately, those quick changes happen without proper planning. Many factories are built in communities, resulting in a lot of pollution which can be consumed by people who live in those communities.

    I agree with you. There are same pollution problems in china due to the dramatically development over the past few decades. I think government, as well as we ordinary people should do something about the pollution to protect our environment.

      Thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear that pollution is also happen in China.I agree with you that we should take responsibility for this problem and try to find solutions. As we all know that once pollution occurs, it does not affect only one area, but it can also affect to us all.

    I worked at Rayoung for long time , and i heard something is quite bad. There has a law that force all factories about amount of pollution that each factory can release. Do you know what happens? All of factory can follow by the rule but Rayoung still has high pollution rate because the rule doesn't include number of factory in there.Therefore , the total of all pollution in Rayoung is too much.

    It seems like a trade off between economy and ecology. I get your point. I am curious that how we could we make change to those unplannedly built factories; Their facilities are already well-established and look extremely difficult to move them. What do ecologists usually suggest the way out for this kind of problems? I also don't want to see those pollutants in Thailand, but seems quite hopeless. So jealous when I see the pics of other countries with clear sky and unpolluted nature.

    Actually, I think that the pollution in Bangkok is much better now than when I first visited in the late 1980s. Then the air pollution really was bad. The cars are even more, but they seem cleaner, and the BTS and MRT have helped a lot.

    I don't actually have any statistics to back this up, it's just my personal observation, and I'm quite prepared to be corrected if I'm wrong. If I was keen, I would do some research, but research to find YouTube videos of old Australian TV shows from my childhood was a bit more interesting than looking for statistics about air pollution in Bangkok.

      Peter said that pollution in Bangkok is much better than before, but even if that is true, I am not really satisfied by what we mean by " better". The pollution in Bangkok remain quite terrible. Think about water pollution. How dirty canals in Bangkok are really upsets me. I use to take a boat in Klong San Sap. Imagine when dark, smelly water in the canal splashes at you. You have to keep trying to dodge the water drops the way that main actor dodges bullets in the move The Matrix. As soon as you get off a boat, you feel like heading directly home to take a shower immediately. However, I hop the government will consider this issue seriously in future.

      i don't think it's good yet, just better (less bad) than I remember it in the past, at least for the air quality.
