Local tips

  • Burning season runs roughly February to April; plan to be elsewhere in March and keep an N95 mask and a HEPA purifier.
  • Check the air each morning with the IQAir app or the local DustBoy network before you plan a ride or hike.
  • A tourist SIM or eSIM costs about 300 to 600 baht in town against 1,199 at the airport; bring your passport.
