Haze hits Thailand’s southern provinces

SONGKHLA, June 19 – Seasonal haze and smog from forest fires in Indonesia on Tuesday have blanketed Thailand’s lower southern provinces, including Songkhla.

The ongoing haze and thick smog caused poor visibility in Songkhla, particularly in the provincial seat, Hat Yai and Khlong Hoi Khon districts. The haze was seen from the high-rise building in the prime business areas of Hat Yai.
