gawguy Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Been coming to Pattaya happily 15 yrs. A few months here and a few months in USA. Back and forth. I'm well set in both places. I just arrived a few days ago into this Bejing-like air pollution and I see news that it will last another 30 days because of the weather pattern. I know from experience with fires in the US that such predictions just mean "We don't know. Maybe 30 days, maybe a lot more." My THING is exercise, along with those other THINGS we do. I walk 3 - 5 miles a day and I swim in the big pool behind the condo I rent. I can't do it in this level of pollution. So where can I go for sanuk and exercise ? ? I was in Phuket a few times about 18 yr ago. A cheap, basic bungalow around Karon Beach. What I want now would be not too expensive, relaxed, no charge for female visitors. Anywhere in Phuket. Some suggestions Please. Phuket or elsewhere. Thanks, GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Interesting ... I'm on the edge of Chatuchak and Nonthaburi, and it's showing 89. Still plenty of green space around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Koh Chang should be fine. Don't know about nightlife though. Might have to bring a companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawguy Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 So after I put up my original post while the air was bad and the forecast was for a lot more of the same... the next night after I posted, the air cleared. I went for a walk at the beach and could see for miles. Since then the index has been hanging around 100, sometimes lower - between 93 and 114. The mornings after a night of dead air are the worst. I have good N95 masks that fit tight and keep out smoke so I can wear those whenever I need to. I'm very relieved. I don't want to go somewhere else. Thanks for the responses, GG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
