The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) has detected hot spots that could be the cause of wildfires in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
The current haze situation in northern Thailand is still above the standard level, especially in Mae Hong Son province.
The MNRE’s Deputy Permanent Secretary Suphot Tovichakchaikul today said that 291 hotspots have been detected in the 50 provinces in the north and northeastern region of Thailand, resulting in the ongoing haze situation in many areas, especially in Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Lampang province.
