It is so bad we have actually decided to leave. We are in the process of buying a place to live back in the UK. We will come back in the rainy season or early cool season, when the pollution has gone, then fly back to the UK each year. Flights are expensive now, and I don't like flying.... So can only see us doing this a few times before we give up on ever coming back to Thailand. I think a lot of expats will be doing the same. I hear you. I also sold all my stuff and left CM last week. Moved back to the west. 1 1

Captor Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 From burning not from cars! Most cars are LPG anyway so it is maybe 0.01% from cars.

So can only see us doing this a few times before we give up on ever coming back to Thailand. I think a lot of expats will be doing the same. Exactly what we did ten years ago. I'd put up with the pollution for over twenty years, but noticed it was getting worse & worse every year until one day, I'd had enough. We sold the house & moved to Australia in 2013 & my Thai wife says she is never going back to C Mai (or LOS) ever. After we returned, I was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer (non-smoker) & had 3 months radiation therapy to remove it. Our daughter was only three when we left & doesn't speak a word of Thai. Sadly, most Thais (and many expats) are not in a position financially to be able to leave. I hate flying too, but I still have friends in C Mai & will visit them each year on my own, in rainy season and only for two weeks. I wish you all the best in you move. 1 1
