Bangkok smog reducing!

An article in the NY Times today talks about how Thailand has reduced their bad air quality, which is so awesome because we all like to be able to breathe easier in the city of smiles or angels or whatever. And I'm always for posting positive things about Thailand. The first paragraph below, click the title for the link to the full article.

"BANGKOK — Black smoke billowing from tailpipes into the humid, tropical air was once a Bangkok trademark. But a decade and a half after Thailand began a battle for better air quality, this erstwhile icon of smog has emerged as a role model for pollution-choked capitals in Asia, with considerably cleaner air than Beijing, Jakarta, New Delhi and Shanghai."
