Stargeezr Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I guess all the big cities on this list have pollution problems. You get to see a lot of places, museums and temples, and eat at lots of good restaurants, just do not go running in the parks on a bad air day. Yes you can run in the parks, just do not try that on street side walks as the vendors will have them blocked, just as they always have. Nice report though.

The pollution is only one factor they considered, and Bangkok is marked very low for this. However, it gets high scores for other factors.

Burma Bill Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) This report is based on a study and I quote (from the UK report itself):- "According to a study by YouGov, almost half of Brits stated improving fitness (47%), losing weight (44%) and improving diet (41%) were among their most important New Year’s resolutions for 2020. It’s no surprise that millions of people worldwide enter each New Year with the hope of taking better care of themselves, whether that’s signing up to the gym or eating healthier. However, fitness and diet are not the only measurements of healthiness - although they do play a big part. Sometimes it’s about our surrounding environment, as well as lifestyle choices. The team at Lenstore has analysed 44 cities across the globe to uncover where it’s easier to lead a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle. From obesity levels to pollution rates, each city has been scored across 10 healthy living metrics. One question remains, do you live in the best city for healthy living?" Please note "most important New Year's resolutions for 2020" so I presume the survey was possibly conducted pre coronavirus on Brits only.

I'll contend that Bangkok may not to be everyone's taste but would also disagree about "the rest nowhere" being a thing. There are some great places in Thailand and it's not all about one place or another. The freedom to mix and match and go where one pleases is part of the attraction here. IMO: It's all good.
