Burning Season in Northern Thailand

In short, the “Burning Season,” caused by the so-called “Slash and Burn” method, usually runs between January and April in northern Thailand. It’s an ancient farming technique, more than 10,000 years old, where farmers burn the leftover crops to fertilise the soil and prepare the fields for the next crop. The smoke creates a thick smog, reducing visibility and deteriorating the air quality in Chiang Mai, Lpei and other northern Thai cities.
