In Thailand we do not have much of Volcano activity but we yearly rice field burning in Chiang Mai every year. Philippines have warned Thailand that some of its smog from the volcano Mayon can float over to south Thailand in time for the New Year and the peak season.
South Thailand and Phuket can get the same smog we have in Bangkok over the New Year. The hospitals in south Thailand are monitoring the situation for people with breathing problems.
On the Volcano Live you can see the history and pictures of the Volcano Mayon in the Philippines.
Not really the kind of fireworks anybody want for New Year is it?
