I'm from Chiang Mai The fog here is so thick that the mountains cannot be seen. Many people have allergies (me too). Some even have red eyes. If it's not necessary, you shouldn't leave the house at all. My air purifier at home, the dust count has gone up to 120. I hope the pollution will disappear soon.😢

I tried retiring there. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. Chocking to death months on end. Horrible place to live. I left, never to return.

ผมเป็นคนเชียงใหม่ ผมเสียใจกับสิ่งๆนี้มาก มันไม่ควรเกิดขึ้นเลย รัฐบาลปัจจุบันไม่เคยเห็นความสำคัญในการแก้ปัญหาอย่างจริงจัง (น่าเสียดายเมืองที่สวยงามนี้ มันเป็นแบบนี้ทุกปีๆ)

I thank God I have safe air to breathe

The government should immediately cut down some pollution emitting sources, with minimum economic burden to the people.

Brain tumours, heart diseases and lung problems.

@tamaraclaire1842

Had I known how bad the pollution was I wouldn't have gone. I had been there 9 years before, the change in the air quality is shocking.

It's 8 months later. Have things improved or is it still looking like the what the video reports?

@agampreet8734 Год назад

But right now NYC is the most 😢

Very sad. Dang it, I am waiting for my passport and this town was exactly where I wanted to live (Chaing Mai) and leave America. Thank you so much for this information even though 😢. Will find another country now.

It is only for a couple of months: February-March. It never bothered me. I always stay in the Old City, which is the lowest level and thus the least harmful. A lot of people will use the burning season as the time to go south and hit the beaches. 🙏🏼
