If you can afford to buy an air purifier and stay a few days or maybe a month or maybe same time two month period in your house waiting for the winds to change, you don't run any health risks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stories like this do not have me packing my bags. I agree. I'm sat at home with two air purifiers running and the pollution reading is very low. I bought an air purifier for the truck cab and it works well. I expect about six weeks of this, that's a small price to pay for the rest of the year.

Both Hanoi and Sai Gon could be much better, but most of Viet Nam has very good air quality. Thailand with a few exceptions is un breathable.

Saigon is horrible like a swamp filled with the exhaust of their millions of unregulated motorcycles. Got bronchitis there 2 weeks ago, still coughing.

Prevailing westerly winds bring the fresh air from The South China Sea.. Thailand gets the burning smoke from Cambodia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the country is choking on its own pollution". In fact, it appears to support the opposite. The South appears fairly free of hotspots whilst Thailand appears to be surrounded by a high volume of hot spots in niegbouring countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, it's windy.com, it shows wind currents in the region, you know, air flows, blowy stuff, surely you've heard of it before! If you look closely you can see little pointy arrows showing wind directions. Come back to me if you're still struggling with this, no better still, don't.
