Currently, the air quality in many areas of Thailand is not very good, with PM2.5 pollution levels that could have long-term health effects, especially for children and those with allergies. Consider planning a trip to change your environment and breathe in clean air in these countries. This information is referenced from the air quality report by Yale University. Let's take a look at where these places are.



Australia (Air Quality Rank 1) According to Yale University's ranking, Australia is the country with the purest air in the world, and Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is the city with the best air quality in the country. With its location nestled in a bay surrounded by hills and an abundance of fresh seafood to savor, this small city is an ideal starting point for exploring nature, including many beautiful beaches scattered around the island. Recommended accommodation is The Old Woolstore Apartment (https://www.agoda.com/the-old-woolstore-apartment-hotel/hotel/hobart-au.html?site_id=1811392) to enjoy the refreshing air year-round while adventuring in Tasmania.

When you cross over to mainland Australia, you cannot miss mentioning Melbourne, one of the major cities that is a hub of diverse culture and top-notch shopping. It also excels in hosting events, with a packed schedule throughout the year. Victoria, known as the Garden State, has many interesting places to explore throughout the city. If you feel like expanding your lungs, take a walk to breathe in the fresh air along the Bayside or relax by the sea at Beachside Port Melbourne (https://www.agoda.com/beachside-port-melbourne/hotel/melbourne-au.html?site_id=1811392), which is another interesting accommodation option.

Canada (Air Quality Rank 4)

The air quality in almost every city in Canada is very good, conducive to outdoor activities. For example, Vancouver is not only located by the bay but also has a long-standing maritime culture. The city features the large Stanley Park, covering 4 square kilometers, where you can exercise and breathe among various trees. Vancouver is a familiar name among outdoor enthusiasts, and not far from the city, there are large snowfields for enjoyable skiing. For these reasons, many tourists who have visited the capital of British Columbia wish to return.
