joe china Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Been searching around for a Web resource that shows the Air Quality in Hua Hin but cant find anything. I know that the air quality is always very good when I am there. Does anyone know of any source to get the real time air quality of Hua Hin? Thanks Joe Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaman2016 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I don’t think that it is monitored as it really isn’t an issue unlike other parts of the country.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seligne2 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Being on the gulf with onshore breezes, HH has decent air quality. That may be why it is barely reported: http://aqicn.org/map/thailand/#@g/9.1415/99.4345/8z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwbrown Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I my 5 years in Hua Hin I remember only one short period with noticeable air quality issues, somebody had a big fire going south of town for a couple of days. I generally find the air quality quite good. I found this air quality site, but no readings for anywhere near Hua Hin, which is surprising because we have a government weather station here. http://aqicn.org/map/thailand/#@g/12.2986/100.6787/6z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3stan Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 The air quality in Hua Hin can be poor at times. This was certainly the case this year/season. Low visibility. Could often not see Chaam buildings from hua hin beach. This is my experience, as someone who is an outdoors person and moved from Chiang Mai to escape the "smoky season" there. I've lived 18 months in Hua Hin. I am now back in Chiang Mai, which i find to have better air quality and visibility than Hua Hin (outside smoky season).

Foexie Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I was in HH about 3 weeks ago and to my surprice there was alot of bad smoke smell. I stayed in a hotel about 2km out the city, direction Cha-am, but around the swimming pool and in the hallways, because they Always opened the windows, it Always smelled bad.

What you saw in HH was humidity haze -- not air pollution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one in every crowd..............Hua Hin vs Chiang Mai in air quality?? Everywhere in country has their bad days, HH has much less of them than CM has. I'll stick with the Southern Coastal areas any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Chiang Mai air quality sucks for 2 months a year, next year I am escaping to HH from the middle of Feb to the middle of March. I really don't know why I have put up with it for almost 15 years? Wife's family are all in Surat Thani so there is no real need to be in CM. other than the great friends I have and the medical facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with air pollution though. Just less rain and something to do during August and September. It's cleaner. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
