Is there currently a burning season in Chiang Mai, and how is the air quality right now?

many people are being hospitalized!

right now it’s extremely bad with levels above 300 you can’t even see the mountains

Chiang mai at the momen, is the most polluted city in the world 🌍

What is the air pollution in Chiang Mai like in June?

I was in Chaing Rai last week, it’s terrible.

Burning season still in full swing

Songkran will mark the end of the air pollution, just 2 more days and blue skys will return but will still be hot. Even 10km out of Chiang mai city has vastly improved air.

"Every breath you take is an adventure" .....come along youll love it!

The sky is far from clear. I'd suggest staying away until the US AQI is under 100 or preferably until the rainy season has started.

GIYF

And that is a lot better than it was

You’ll be fine !..

You might damage your lungs . I would wait .

No not clear at all , but yes , its worth a visit for sure !

How soon are you thinking of travelling there? For reference - I was there in Feb, when the US AQI was in the range 170-190. It was visibly annoying, and caused occasional minor irritation to me, but didn’t detract too much from having a good time. You should check one of the many available websites to monitor the pollution levels. Good luck.

PS - You can monitor the active fire zones in this NASA webpage.

STAY AWAY!

"Thailand has been choking on heavy air pollution since the start of the year, caused in part by seasonal agricultural burning.

Nearly two million people have needed hospital treatment for respiratory conditions caused by air pollution this year, according to the public health ministry.

On Friday morning, the air monitoring website IQAir ranked Chiang Mai as the most polluted major city in the world, above regular hotspots such as Delhi and Lahore.

Levels of the most dangerous PM2.5 particles -- so tiny they can enter the bloodstream -- were more than 66 times the World Health Organization's annual guideline, according to IQAir."

Birds dropping dead and falling from the sky.

Check IQair for daily updates on the smog. At the moment it is unhealty. Rain will certainly help.

Today

The air is going to be bad until it starts raining regularly
