The Prime Minister explains the reason for not declaring Chiang Mai an emergency area. After high dust levels I’m afraid it will have more negative effects. Worried that it will affect tourism After just recovering from Covid

Today (17 Mar.) Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Posted a message via Why hasn’t Chiang Mai been declared an emergency area? while the dust level is high I have listened to opinions. and suggestions from all relevant sectors. I’m afraid that if the announcement is made, it will have more negative effects. Because what will happen after that is It will affect the number of foreign tourists who are just recovering after the impact of COVID-19. Because tourists who bought insurance from their home If traveling in a disaster zone or emergency area Insurance will not cover you immediately. Of course, Chiang Mai Province will lose tourists who intend to visit both short-term and long-term. We are worried here.

As for the central budget allocated by the government
to the National Park Department. The Ministry of Wealth was ready to disburse funds yesterday (March 16). I would like to emphasize that the allocation of this central budget It is an allocation of funds directly to the hands of volunteers who volunteer to take care of and monitor forest fires. This is the first time that a budget has been allocated in this way because we want to hire local people to take care of their area. According to the needs of the area and the budget given is more than the emergency budget.

There are many ways to manage dust. The government is ready to listen to all suggestions. But the government must decide on the good path. and is most effective for the citizens who also have to make a living’.
