I think after research and talking with family I withdraw my “all year round” statement as it is untrue and replace it with first few months of the year when crop burning takes place!

Ok maybe I have been unlucky during my visits to Chiang Mai.

I have family living there and every time I visit the air is “smokey”.

Below is a quote made by IQAir this year:

The northern Thai city of Chiang Mai was ranked as the most polluted in the world on Saturday, according to air-quality monitoring website IQAir 28 March 2025

- It is actually caused by agricultural farmers, primarily the burning of biowaste such as unsold corn.28 Feb 2025

It is a shame because Chiang Mai is a beautiful part of Thailand.

Every time I drive down from the mountains/hills to the North I have seen a blanket of smoke.

Air pollution makes the choice a no brainer for your family, Chiang Mai has poor quality air all year round!

Good luck.

What other people think is their business and often reveals their true character.

Good advice!

My Thai wife initially came to the UK on a Marriage Visa, that was 23 years ago!
