Travel Warning for North Thailand

Travel Warning for North Thailand

It really makes me sad that every year report the same travel warning for what was such a lovely city in the North. When you had enough of Bangkok traffic jams and polluted streets you could go up and fill your lungs for a week with fresh mountain air in Chiang Mai.

It makes me equally sad to see that the Thai governments solution to the problem is to give out facemask then address the real problem, burning forest and rice fields.

The Thai government promises every year to take hard measures to stop this old and bad practice to burn old rice fields but still every year it happens.

Tourists in Bangkok do not suffer so much from it but if you take the bus to Pattaya you can sometimes not see the road because off all the fields on fire on the side of the road.

The healthy limit in Chiang Mai is already pass long time ago and I strongly urge you not to go Chiang Mai for a while at least until they stop burning the fields.’

With all the unrest going on in Bangkok and the smog on the North i guess heading south is the best solution but off course it is very very hot this time of year.
