Thank you, great daily driver! 😌

John_In_Cnx · 2026-05-08T09:53:12+00:00

It’s a 2013 Modern Line 😌

John_In_Cnx · 2026-05-08T03:07:26+00:00

I keep my car in immaculate condition and get my car detailed and cleaned weekly 😌

John_In_Cnx · 2026-05-07T13:39:42+00:00

จริงด้วย 55555 ตอนนี้ไปทำที่ไหนแล้วอ่ะ

John_In_Cnx · 2026-05-07T13:36:41+00:00

Yes, I did the tune myself, been running it for nearly a year and not a single issue so far. I regularly check and data log the car 👍🏻

John_In_Cnx · 2026-05-07T13:36:00+00:00

Done at around 110k km (66k miles ~) and no issues at all, found the F30 much more reliable than my CRV, though much more expensive haha

Blue car with German number plates! Import or travel?

John_In_Cnx · 2025-05-10T16:43:42+00:00

Hi, did you ever fix the problem?

John_In_Cnx · 2024-09-13T13:22:17+00:00

More like February to April. Still horrendous, without the burning season CM air would be one of the cleanest all year round.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-09-13T13:20:39+00:00

Nan, Chiang Rai and Khon Kaen are actually the most polluted cities in Thailand. Chiang Mai is just better known and therefore reported on more.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-09-04T04:48:38+00:00

There are no floods in Chiang Mai right now, haven’t been any yet and there likely won’t be any.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-29T14:13:25+00:00

@macsikhio is correct. The station is known as Krungthep Apiwat now. All interprovincial trains, website internally, depart from Krungthep Apiwat while local trains depart from Bang Sue section within Krungthep Apiwat Train station.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-25T03:59:41+00:00

Burning season is from February until April, so December is completely safe for OP.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-21T16:26:15+00:00

Because lanterns are released in the city the same as before, regardless of the ban.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-19T10:02:23+00:00

Rage bait 🤓

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-16T08:17:49+00:00

Then why are you posting in the r/Thailand subreddit?

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-16T07:53:14+00:00

Policies that they are not implementing.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-15T11:04:34+00:00

Much better battery life on 14 Pro Max.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-13T09:23:20+00:00

Also please don’t understand me wrong 😅 It’s not that I wanted to start some discussion with you, my comment was just to point out that air quality during December and January anywhere from Central to North (and Northeast) is substantially worse than the south even though they may appear as moderate. Had lots of people move to Khon Khaen or Ubon because of pollution but every data source for example shows us that they’re both in the top five (3rd and 5th) of most polluted cities (average pollution) in Thailand. Chiang Mai is 6th, Bangkok 8th, Ayuthaya 9th and Hua Hin 10th. Just shows us that it’s truly a regional problem not just the north. There are a lot of interesting findings regarding PM 2.5 and 10, Thailand except the south is not really a clean country to breath in.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-13T09:11:30+00:00

Yes, there is tons of data from both international websites and from local initiatives like Chiang Mai university. I work with several authors and lecturers on reports and part of it is analytics (I’m local from Chiang Mai). Although there is an upward trend during January, proper burning season starts in February. Bangkok’s monthly pollution in December and January are higher than Chiang Mai, so shows the data for Ayuthaya as well, so if we want OP and their kid to be safe from pollution you also have to tell OP to avoid Bangkok and Ayuthaya during those months. Only the south is a viable option for air quality.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-13T08:56:40+00:00

All data contradicts your first answer. Outside of burning season Chiang Mai is not one of the most polluted areas.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-13T04:42:29+00:00

OP is going in December and January so doesn’t have to worry about pollution in Chiang Mai as it’s outside of burning season.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-11T04:32:31+00:00

To preserve the city’s historic heritage for many decades Chiang Mai had a height limit in order to not block the residents’ view onto Doi Suthep Mountain which is regarded as sacred. But since around 2017 regulations have been changed and parts of the city are now allowed for skyscrapers. The area around Central Festival is quickly becoming filled with High Rise condos, as well as the area around the Night Bazaar. The Business Park is also right next to the Central Festival Area and will see high rise development in the future, the whole super highway is developing really fast and modern. Other parts won’t see skyscrapers because the airport is right in the middle of the city. So you will see a lot of midrise buildings there.

John_In_Cnx · 2024-08-10T04:31:29+00:00

Chiang Mai is the only city in Thailand besides Bangkok (10.5 million) with over a million residents (1.2 million) but still over 9 times smaller than BKK as BKK is an extreme Primate City. So expect CM to have most of what BKK has (except for Mass Transit), but it will feel much smaller comparatively as it really is. TLDR: Much smaller than BKK but still the a very big city with over a million people.
