Chiang Mai Burning Season Update: It Got Bad... FAST! 😷

Just days after my last vlog celebrating clear skies, the Thailand burning season has officially hit Chiang Mai. The smog rolled in fast, completely covering the mountains with AQI levels spiking over 200 in some areas.

In this quick travel update, I head back up to the Doi Kham viewpoint to show you the shocking before-and-after comparison. It's a complete 180 from last week—the city currently looks like a smoke bomb went off!

In this vlog, we cover:

The sudden spike in Chiang Mai's air pollution and fire maps.

A shocking visual comparison of the smog from Doi Kham.

My honest advice on whether you should travel here before Songkran.

If you're planning a trip to Northern Thailand right now, you might want to hold off for a few days to see if the air clears. Stay safe out there, and let's hope for blue skies soon!
