Chiang Mai citizens were left in a pollution haze Thursday as sources released contradictory reports of particulate-based air pollution. One international source reported dangerous levels of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) while a Thai government report shared much lower, yet still very high, readings.

Residents of a third village in Chiang Rai's Mae Fah Lung district where rabies has been detected, voted to keep and detain their pet dogs and cats instead of handing them over to livestock officials to be culled.
