PJ71 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Anyone been up to CR or Chiang Khong area lately? How's the weather with regards to haze / smoke? Is it still nice and cool in the mornings / evenings? Planning on a trip this coming week for a few days, maybe up to GT again. Any input appreciated.

LaosLover Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm a newcomer to CM, but the smoke seems very tolerable. Yesterday it wasn't even noticeable. Some mornings you def want a jacket. Where is GT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaosLover Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 There's an ethnic Chinese village up that way that has a good Sat Night walking street with old timers playing their hill tribe music. Mark Weins has a video about it. Reddit Chiang Mai says Pai is very smokey today, whereas here it's perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randell Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 In CR this morning the clearest air we have had for a while after a good nights rain my AQI reads 78 which is far better and blue sky instead of grey. But the morning and definitely long sleeved shirt and jacket weather. Temp. currently at 1pm is 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randell Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I concur with JimmyJ a day or so after the nice rain our crappy air is back above 150 at the moment so a N95 mask would be a smart idea. It's also warming up mornings are still cool but for least time and then back in to 30 country. but can be still very enjoyable. But views are quite impeded.

I live North of CM city and yes it was very smoky. You want to be wearing a mask when you ride not for covid but for the smoke as it plays hell on your lungs and eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
