andyh Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I will be in Thailand In Feb 2020 (10th to 26th). My original intention was to stay in BKK for the duration. However we do want sunshine and not smoggy skies. Any suggestions where best to go for (hopefully) sunny days? Many thanks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasThBKK Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 puuuuuh though one. Generally phuket should be okeyish, and also the other islands. Mainlands have a higher chance to be completely hazed. That said, this week everything is bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katipo Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Head south, it's the only area with acceptable pollution levels for now and the immediate future. Phuket included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveInBKKandMAUI Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 WHEW! Just got back to Maui, Hawaii from BKK. I spend 2 months there twice a year with myt Thai wife in condo. Was sick for last 2 weeks and still sick for 2 weeks on Hawaii. I cough a LOT. "Almost flu like" conditions. SUGGESTIONS FROM MAUI DOCTOR: + Before going to BKK, load-up on Vitamin C. + Wear a mask. (ugh) + Forget about the B1 Shot. It's worthless. + Drink a LOT of pure orange juice and pomagranite juice. + Get some "Moxxie" at Thai pharmacy. Excellent antibiotic. + Definately wear a mask on flight to BKK and on BTS Skytrain. + Keep your hands clean and out of your mouth and nose. My Doctor here has been to Thailand and she got sick, too. These were her suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaoboi Bebobp Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 FYI: The central highlands and coastal region of Vietnam are clean as a whistle. Stay away from Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh. AQI of Da Nang and region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If I knew the air was going to be so bad all around Thailand the last 3 weeks I would not have taken my trip to Thailand. I suggest you cancel or change your plans to somewhere with fresh air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you say is definitely not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
