Puchaiyank Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Live in Udon now...happy with location...1 hour from Laos...UD Town and Central Mall have all the variety of food, clothing, and services of larger city...traffic flows smoothly, many healthcare facilities to chose from, parks, swimming pools, gyms, inexpensive accommodations...slower pace, laid back atmosphere...what is not to like?

Never witnessed smog...farmers miles away burn fields...get mild smoke smell periodically...no breathing problems here to my knowledge...I have allergies to air pollution...so I would have been affected if present.

moojar Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 FWIW I had a choice between KK & Buriram, chose Buriram. KK is 'Bangkok lite' IMO - awful traffic and cramped conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check out the AQI readings. I’m looking for a few options when next in Thailand, places that I can visit but avoid smog. I know Chiang Rai/Chiang Mai well but would avoid during smoke season.

Unless it's changed in the last couple of years, the food choice in Central did not include a good steak and burger joint, or a good Japanese option?

jackdd Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 2 hours ago, Pilotman said: or a good Japanese option Not in Central Plaza, but in Udon Thani for Japanese food "Little Osaka" (a-la-carte at reasonable prices) and "Oshin" (a-la-carte buffet including sashimi, for when you are really hungry) are imho quite good.

mrmillersr Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The air pollution in Khon Kaen has been as bad or worse than Chiang mai so far this year. In fact, Khon Kaen and surrounding areas such as Kalasin and Roi Et are where high levels of sugar cane and rice burning occur so you are going to get high PM 2.5 levels which of course, is not good. The big question is how long the bad air persist and the only way to know that is to watch the PM 2.5 levels at the monitoring station. Unfortunately, for other areas like Kalasin and Roi Et there is no data available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
