Popular Post Misab Posted February 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hua Hin 25th of February 2020, 7 o’clock in the morning. Do you see the mountains clearly today? No, Unfortunately, you do not, because Aqi shows 167. Once again a day with filthy air, what is happening to Hua Hin there once had clean air. To those of you with COPD, you should protect your lungs and wear a mask. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If you think it's bad now, just stick around! For those who missed yesterday's news. . . Hua Hin Airport expansion to help transform sleepy resort into a truly international tourist destination Sleepy? It really makes you wonder if any of the clowns running this country have actually been there! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetryxx Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I’m not sure what part of HH you guys live in but we get occasional hazy skies this time of year. Rest of the time there’s a pleasant sea breeze and blue skies. Too much negativity with some of you—if you’re looking for bad air try Bangkok or Beijing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Air quality web sites don't help as you get readings ranging from 50 80 and 120 all on the same day at the same time. Easier to look at distant hills or towers and if you can't see them it's bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayka Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The measurement are sometimes taken close to a plant or factory, so it does not always gives the correct numeral! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not, just stating facts. Not much difference in air quality between BKK and HH, there have even been days where the air in BKK was cleaner than HH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I use AirVisual to check the levels but often have trouble correlating my own local experience with the data from the site. The two photos attached tell the story. One is the mountain view from my yard with the mountain being approximate 1-2km from yard. There are clearly some storm clouds but not heavy haze and no discernable smoke smell. I live outside Huahin to the west a few miles from the ocean. There definitely have been days the last two months when there was haze and smoke evident. Unless the pollution is very bad I suppose it's all a matter of locale. I guess I should buy a meter.
