October 3, 20196 yr If you want to stay in Thailand either for breaks from the pollution or for longer, I have been near Sangkhla Buri in the north of Kanchanaburi over 2 years now and have never seen or breathed pollluted air. Have seen above average rainfall though but not when you're dealing with the smog. Despite high rain, no flooding either. It can get very hot of course March April. Kanchanaburi city is not Bangkok but has most things you could need, plus it's cheaper than some parts of Thailand and there are not too many farangs or tourists. Currently I am about 3 hours from the city but long term will likely move to the centre, or further to Hua Hin.

I spend April each year 3 hours south of Hua Hin on the beach and smog never an issue. If you do want to leave the country coastal Vietnam will be fine once you get 100kms south of Hanoi. So how is Hua Hin? Is it a place to live without having that problem?

Do you stay in Chumporn ? Any recommendations where to stay in that area would be appreciated

Hikudawa seemed OK back then, but I'd paid for hotel further north before going so locked into it. I won't go back because it's poisoned in my mind, but others may love it. Never make decisions based on one review.

Any recommendations where to stay in that area would be appreciated I stayed there once waiting for the night boat to Tao. I wouldn't want to stay there longer than that. However, many lovely places to stay on the gulf coast south of Chumporn. I stayed at Sanawan B & B for a few weeks and loved it- it's on the internet. Other nice places in the same area.

October 9, 20196 yr Jomtien has a lot of empty condos. Decent ones with a nice pool starting for 6000 baht a month. Western food and in many cases a short walk to the beach.
