PM Paetongtarn to discuss air pollution solutions in cabinet

13 Sept 13:01 Key points summarised by AI

Prime Minister Paetongtarn will lead a cabinet meeting to discuss air pollution solutions, following consultations with governors of PM2.5-affected provinces and a review of existing mitigation assignments.
New measures include disqualifying farmers who start fires from support programs for two years, and the Public Health Ministry's plan to distribute 8 million face masks; a temporary improvement in Bangkok's air quality due to wind is expected to be short-lived.

Lamphun in a New Light

Lamphun illuminates its ancient city with two concurrent light festivals: the high-tech VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN and the traditional Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival.
VIJIT Thailand @ LAMPHUN transforms historic landmarks into an outdoor gallery, using projections and multimedia to animate Lamphun's history, including Queen Chamadevi's story.
The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
These festivals offer a unique after-dark experience, blending contemporary light art with centuries-old Lanna traditions, connecting visitors to Lamphun's past and faith.
