It ranks #695 worldwide, with Nan, Chiang Rai and Khon Kaen ranking 1st-3rd in Thailand. Chiang Mai and Bangkok rank 6th and 8th respectively. IQAir’s ranking is scientifically highly inaccurate and by their own words not suitable for a good comparison. So unless anyone lives in the south, every region of Thailand gets hit by pollution every year. I wouldn’t fall for the clickbait articles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just a claim, I already guessed you would send me this ranking. Here is why: IQAir's ranking only list 100 cities out of over 1700, so roughly only 5.8% of all data is represented. I wrote about this exact problem in this report I link down below. Only Chiang Mai and Bangkok are represented in this particular list, leaving out all other major cities in Thailand and being very inconsistent with their parameters. When you look at live data for all of Thailand, Chiang Rai actually ranks higher than Chiang Mai right now. Furthermore the Chinese city of Hotan has a score nearly 200 AQI higher. These are just two examples why IQAir's ranking list isn't scientifically viable. In my report I also go over average pollution for major Thai cities, and compared with data by Thai authorities, and even with extreme peaks during burning season, Chiang Mai isn't the most polluted city in Thailand, therefore not in the world. Even Nan, although the most polluted on average, only ranks #364. #1 are Patna, India, #2 Wotan, China and #3 Lahore, Pakistan with over 100 micrometers/m3. This all is not to say that Chiang Mai has great air right now and that I am downplaying it, no, it is just extremely exaggerated in media and forums. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even on the top 50. Why the exaggeration. Sure it’s very smoky, but if you want to experience even worse then go to one of these places… Edited April 13, 2023 by novacova 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
