I rated Chiang Mai the WORST place for EXPATS to live in THAILAND

Poor air quality makes Chiang Mai, Thailand, the worst place to live as an expat — if you VALUE your HEALTH. #chiangmai #thailand #expatlife

Chiang Mai turns into a gas chamber every year. From mid-February to mid-April, toxic smoke engulfs the city, pushing AQI levels beyond 500+. March is the worst, with hospitals overflowing, flights delayed due to zero visibility, and even the healthiest residents struggling to breathe.
The air is so polluted that spending a day outside can be like smoking multiple packs of cigarettes.

For 3 months, it becomes unlivable. That’s why, despite all its charm, Chiang Mai earns a 2/10 as a place to live long-term as an expat.
Unless you plan to escape every March and April, you’ll be stuck choking on toxic air, trapped in your apartment with air purifiers running full blast.
