Millions Are Sick. Governments Know. Nobody's Saying It | Dr. Yongyut | The Raz Patel Show | S2 EP18

The air is killing people across Southeast Asia. And almost nobody is talking about it. Dr. Yongyut Tiyapairat has served as Thailand's Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Secretary to the Prime Minister and President of the National Assembly. He has spent decades at the intersection of politics, policy and environmental crisis — and in this episode he is not holding back. Smoke haze is no longer a local problem. It crosses borders, destroys lungs, collapses tourism economies and devastates agricultural communities — while governments keep announcing bans that nobody enforces. In this episode Dr. Tiyapairat breaks down the real causes behind Southeast Asia's smoke haze crisis, why existing policies have failed, what countries like China, the US and Australia are doing differently and what genuine regional cooperation would actually look like. If you breathe air — this episode is for you. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.
