Because tourists who bought insurance from their home If traveling in a disaster zone or emergency area Insurance will not cover you immediately. Of course, Chiang Mai Province will lose tourists who intend to visit both short-term and long-term. We are worried here.

I would like to emphasize that the allocation of this central budget It is an allocation of funds directly to the hands of volunteers who volunteer to take care of and monitor forest fires. This is the first time that a budget has been allocated in this way because we want to hire local people to take care of their area.
