Mr. Gabi: Thanks you so much for your remarkable new video from Chiang Mai, Thailand this week to shows this deadly air pollutions around the city in April of 2023❤️❤️❤️
One of the only youtubers who delivers videos with respect for Thailand.
I used to go to chiang mai in februari and it wasn’t like this in 2020.
If you see how much bangkok has changed in case of pollution there is a way out for chiang mai, the only problem is keeping the jobs for the farmers.
I hope they find a way out because Thailand is very special to me 👍🏻
Even in 2004 when I traveled in Thailand, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai were my favorite spots. I'd grown out of hanging around beaches anymore (I can do that here in Santa Barbara), and I'm more interested in history and culture than getting a tan. Already, Chiang Mai had a large American ex-pat community. While I was there, I met many Westerners who retired there but they were all couples (I'm single), and so had twice the money I have. Thai language is challenging for Westerners and it's a long long way from home in the USA. We never saw smog or polluted skies, except in downtown Bangkok. It's sad to see the crush of people and gray skies. The skies were always blue in 2004.
Excellent review Gabi as always.Good honest comments but, always respecting Thailand.Thanks for sharing with us again,take care.😊👍🙏🙏
Happy I'm in south Thailand. Beautiful here!!
Hi Gabi, thank you so much for this video. We already booked our todays bus ticket from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, but after watching this video we decided to travel southwards to avoid the air pollution. We will definitely travel once to the North in a better season.
Same here I love Chiangmai, was there last month walked all day in the city and the air pollution was bad. But right now it looks worse. Take care everyone and be safe!
The whole North of Thailand should be avoided in February March and April.. Smokey season.. An absolute nightmare 😢
Thanks for telling me that. Now I have to explain it to my travel partner wanting to go there next April.
Many of us are here to retire and we are in our '70's. Breathing is dangerous here in CHiang Mai. Wish I had been warned before I settled here.
Wow the air pollution from the burning season is crazy! Thailand and the other neighboring nations have to figure something out as the practice is so deadly to people’s quality of life!
Thanks for updating us on the issue.
By the way, the condo was super cute and shockingly cheap for all the amenities it had! Stay well Gabi! ❤
Mr. Gabi: Congratulations to you for your new remarkable video today's from Chiang Mai, Thailand to shows these great places on the street markets in Thailand April of 2023❤️❤️❤️
Left N. Thailand mid-late Feb and it was starting. Heading to Laos which was worse. It wasn't until I arrived in S. Thailand that I lost my sore throat. I can't imagine what it is like now. Enjoying air in Bali right now at 25 US AGI
Great video & well presented. I normally am never in Chiangmai Mar-June but still dig the place!!
The smoke is soooo bad that I remain inside running my air purifier. It just seems like it is not going to end. I have only seen Doi Suthep once since early February after a rain. Whenever I drive into the city I am ushered into a roadside checkpoint at least twice, once going in and once coming out. As a Westerner I have become accustomed to it.
I would not live there. Not worth your health
Great Information, cheers
Mr. Gabi:Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video today’s about the deadly air pollutions that is now occurring in Chiang Mai, Thailand this week April of 2023.I am hoping that things will goes well or STOPS this week soon from the deadly air pollution in 2023❤❤❤❤
대단한 여행 영상입니다. Amazing travel video.
Great video! but so sad to see this, such beautiful place and beautiful people have to endure this polluted air for decades...
Oh my gosh... this pollution is really incredible. I've never seen anything like that. Thanks for showing us around!
Grande Gabi, come al solito report fantastico, ci sono passato a febbraio da Chiang Mai , posto tranquillo ed energicamente positivo , grazie 👍🏼🙏🏼
Grazie Luca 👍😉 a febbraio è molto piacevole Chiang Mai
Babi…100% agree with you. CM is THE place. Even with this smoke, it is home. Will be my permanent home in next 9 months. Cannot wait. Thank you for the great filming.
Thank you for warning people. I just fled to Bangkok as i wish someone warned me before I went. No idea it got so bad. Take care of your health bro. Blessings.
Hi Gabi. So sad to see how polluted the air is, we hope it is possible to do something about the misery, we were there 26 February to 5 March and the air was excellent, we were also in Chiang Rai and the air was nice and clean and the sun was shining from a clear sky so we were lucky with the stay, we love Chiang Mai and will return for the third time on the next trip to Thailand. See you in the next video when you are in our beloved Bangkok. Big hug from us 👋
thankyou gabi for your help and about new, grazie mille per il tuo aiuto e contributo per darmi notizie vere ed efficienti
ti seguiro sempre
Kool dude . Nice video thank you.
Mr. Gabi: Congratulations to you for this new remarkable video today’s from Chiang Mai after you left “Boracay Island” The Philippines last week before heading to Thailand in April of 2023.I wish you good LUCK always in peace & joy 2023❤❤❤❤Remarkable video from Chiang Mai, Thailand 2023❤❤❤
Complimenti Gabi! ottima review
Thanks for the video Gabi! I will definitely change my schedule around in 2024 after seeing your vid & visit there first in January before it gets bad. Also great tip about renting scooters 👍🏻. Shame about them stops tho 👮♀️🤚🏼
Awesome video Gabi
This so true.
I went to Chiang Mai last month and during my elephant encounter trip, I thought I was seeing a fog but wondered why it's ho sot. Turns out, it's a very thick smog 🥺
Also, I had to wipe my face clean and you can imagine why.
Going there, I kinda downplayed it thinking I should already be used to it being from a big city myself but its another level.
I don't recommend it for anyone with weak lungs.
I dont understand the hype with Chiang Mai. It's up north but it's still very hot. It gets even hotter than Bangkok sometimes, like 40 C +. And then when it's not hot, it's burning season and you can't even breathe. There's like 1-2 months when it's comfortable.
I agree completely. I think people like it because it's super cheap, at least compared to other touristy places like Phuket, Samui, and Bangkok.
Hi Gabi!! Take care your self from that pollution, have fun and Carry on showing us the world throw your eyes😊 Big Hugs brother ❤
Wow, how incredibly grim for the local people who are stuck living with that pollution. You can only imagine what it must be like for people who have asthma and other lung conditions
Thanks for the info. Visit in December.
Wow good job 💯❤️ I am watching from Saudi Arabia
We always leave CM in the last week in February & head to BKK. The government is incapable of fixing this problem, too much money involved.
Stay safe and be careful.
One month ago it was already terrible I could barely breathe but now it looks even worse 🤯 such a pity, Chiang Mai is amazing when not polluted...
Take Care Sir Gabi and safe travel always
Chiangmai is so beautiful. Lets hope this pollution problems do not last too long.
Hi my friend Gabi, the only word I can think of to say is "wow", but I hope you are feeling better and fine? and Happy Easter from Toronto
I’m in Chiang Mai right now and it’s clear blue skies
Does this pollution clear up by July? Was hoping to make a trip around that time but will be having second thoughts if it's this bad then too...
At 15.50 on the left, you pass "it's good kitchen". My favourite place for Khao Soi and many other delicious dishes 😋 and it's next to Wat Phra Singh, what more can you ask😇
La bellezza viene gradualmente distrutta dal suo più grande nemico: l'uomo.
Thank You Gabi ❤
USA
Ciao Gabi! a mani basse il mio yt preferito
My favourite place, ever!💟🍷
Liked and subscribed
I was there just a month ago and it was much clearer, that's crazy in comparison
If you want to stay at Astra, get a unit facing the Shang Ri La hotel and it's enormous pool. It's the best view in Chiang Mai.
Thank you, Gabi! Be there in June... 3 stops for license, incredible. They must need revenue.
Mr. Gabi:I wish you safe journeys daily in Chiang Mai, Thailand from this deadly air pollution that is now occurring in Thailand 2023.Good LUCK to you always in peace 2023❤❤❤
These days, no city is perfect. Chiang Mai reminds me of Dhaka, very similar roads and lifestyle. Dhaka is still moderately polluted; I hope it never gets that bad.
Hi.. do you think the pollution levels are decreasing slowly? Planning a trip in mid may..so wanted to be sure
So glad I don't live in Chiang Mai. I definitely prefer the clean fresh air. The current AQI is 57 in Koh Samui. Much better!
Merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii l'Ami !!!!!!!👍👍👍
Hi, is it advisable to go chiang Mai in End May 2023? how will the pollution there be by end May? Appreciate your advice. Thank you
i love bangkok life there is amasing and beautiful lol. and im sure your life there is good and healthy.
Hi Gabi! Wow, it is so terrible seeing that thick pollution. It reminded me of when I lived in Beijing in the winter. Will this improve in May or June? It seems like it is getting worse and worse, so they should do something about it. Shocking that it is worse than China and number 1 in the world. They are definitely losing tourists for three or so months a year because of it.Thanks for letting us know.
It goes away when the rainy season starts. Usually sometime in late April or early May.
It's really a headache with Chiang Mai's pollution.
During this time, the government heavily punished and fined people for burning grass clippings for cultivation. But with the hot weather, it caused more forest fires in the north. While around the country, including Laos, Burma and Vietnam, people there burned fields in large areas. and the wind scattered the ashes of pollution
This has been a national issue that has been debated in the country for years.
I think for domestic Handling the problem is not difficult because the people cooperate well. But there may be some who break the rules, but the number is very small.
The problem that is difficult to solve is the people outside of Thailand.
I was just there in March. Just right before all the bad bad pollution. Got lucky.
I'll be travelling to Chiang Mai tomorrow from Malaysia.. I hope the weather is getting better tomorrow.. hope it will rain mmm 😢
You will be very disappointed. The pollution is still severe and I would discourage tourists from coming here so that the governments decides to bring in a health act to stop this criminal behaviour.
Chill chill just enjoy the air its part of the cycle of life
Thank you for the video. Heading there soon but wish I could cancel because of pollution.
I'm trying to make arrangements to cancel now. My trip is in May
I plan to go mid feb to elephant sanctuary so shouldn’t? Thanks
As a Chiang Mai native , I can say this year is one of the worst ... quite sad .. AIR is the resource that should be free to everybody !
How long do you think this will last from your experience? Is it safe and good to go in 2-3 weeks?
Per the research, everywhere north of Bangkok is getting worse and worse. Bangkok is also in serious trouble with the air quality.
Jaidee is a good place recommend.
Not 1th but 81th place. Jost cheked out it now)
PS: If you're in Chiang Mai, see if you can eat at Dash Teak House -- the best restaurant in that city. Very classy place.
Northern Thailand is a right off for this reason.
I lived in Chiang Mai in 2019 and the air was much cleaner. This is sad to see. I hope they figure something out for the health of the wonderful Thai people.
how is it now right now? Its beginning of May. Thinking about moving there
Just landed at Chiang Mai now and don’t quite know what to do as have time booked in at an elephant sanctuary, mountain hikes, etc. I have a KN95 mask but will that actually do anything? Shame as was looking forward to it!
We just escaped chingmai 2 wks ago..
Me, too! 😅
It's good you show how bad it is on video. I always tell people to stay away from Thailand from February to May. Just don't visit that country!
I live in Kazachstan as an oil worker and our climate is wonderful and the air clean. I recommend you go somewhere else than where you're now.
Cheers
Good advice. Boycott Northern Thailand during these months and maybe the government will respond and change the laws that affect our health.
So visiting in November is okay?
Nice for the video and highlighting the state of air pollution in Chiang Mai. We are heading to Chiang Mai next month in May. Hopefully it becomes better. For now, let’s hope it can be tackled for the long term.
Too bad to see the pollution in one of the most beautiful cities in Thailand. I live in Singapore and it used to be this bad there but in the last few years it’s getting better. Mainly due to the pressure the Singaporean government put on countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Thailand should attack this from a political angle as well. That’s the only way it’s getting better. For now, I actually just got back from Chiangmai in November and it was much better.
I'm Thai. I want to say that the dust is only in the northern part of Thailand. The southern part of Thailand is very nice, such as Koh Samui, Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi Island. The weather here is good.
How bad is it in May?
Regret leaving the Philippines?
I have been in Chiang Mai in the burning season and really is bad. I have heard they are trying to find a better way for the farmers. But for now this is the only way they have to deal with their crops. 😢
You are at the wrong time of the year, go to Nepal, hang around in Pokhara, nice place :)
You're battling with depression and decide to leave the pristine beaches and sparkling clean water of the Philippines to go visit the most polluted city on the planet. Makes sense I guess 😮
I guess so. 😉
Is it really that bad?!..I'm worried I'm going in 2 weeks!
that's crazy
It wasn't that bad.
I walked from the Airport for 1 hour and 2 minutes with absolutely no problems 😊
😅😅
When you come to Indonesia? Especially Bali?
Hopefully soon 👍 I love Bali
Serious question. Is it mandatory to have adverts at the beginning of YT videos or just something that you all choose to do? I mean the one or two that everyone seems to have now (often 6 seconds plus 14 seconds or so, meaning 20 seconds before the video even starts).
It’s not mandatory. But if you deactivate the ads, TH-cam will not push your video, because it will not make money on it.
So TH-cam will always promote the videos that choose to have advertising.
Plus it’s a way for us creator to monetize the work we do.
Appreciate the honest answer!
You can always join TH-cam Premium to avoid ads.
@@ridewithgabi Thanks very much for talking the time to answer me but I think I may not have made myself clear - I didn't mean can you turn off advertising completely, I just meant is it possible to not have the initial ads and still keep rolling ads in the middle or whatever?
@@EvolvedBonobo Yes I know I can but that's not in any way relevant to my question.
It’s a shame as we’re staying in chiang Mai for 3 days with activities booked. Don’t know how to go about it all as we’re staying outside the city where the levels are at 380!
How is the pollution in San Kamphaeng ? It’s not too far from there
Will they accepted an International Drivers License? Some of the areas will but they wouldn't accept it from me when I was in Pattaya and I had to pay fine.
Mr. Gabi: Where is your’s lovely pretty Thai girlfriend NOT mentioned in this remarkable video April of 2023?I am hoping that this deadly air pollution may disappear soon this week❤❤❤
The americans and europeans still want to retire for good in smoky-hazy chiangmai, hahaha...😷🤭😭
I wouldn't go to such polluted places. Maybe if tourists boycott all such places they would clean up their act.
My sentiment exactly.
663 recorded in Chiang rai at the end of March
😱😱😱
That’s crazy, pulled over 3 times in one day at a checkpoint. Does anybody know if there are any issues with a AAA issued international drivers permit? And they seem to be pulling over mostly farangs. I’m thinking there would be some racial profiling lawsuits if we mostly only stopped Asians here in the USA.
Welcome to Thailand's annual Fire and Smoke Festival. Bring your own N95 mask and have fun😂
But this is just fire smoke, it's not like car pollution.. I don't know if it is really that bad.
The smoke from the burning has long term affects on the lungs. It is certainly not harmless.
