Rainmakers battle Thailand smog

A final check on the tarmac before the crew of the King Air launches their latest mission. Their objective: to make rain. The objective is to increase the amount of water or ice particles in the air, generating rain to wash pollution particles from the skies. “The objective is to make it rain in the north because haze is coming from forest fires or from burning garbage in the community,” says Parinya Sutthikosen of the Royal Rainmaking Bureau. “We have to reduce the fires and the amount of haze.”
