About Hang Dong, Chiang Mai
During burning season (February through April), PM2.5 levels in Chiang Mai can reach 20 times WHO limits. The entire Hang Dong district moves indoors: school runs, home delivery, and no outdoor activity. Massage delivery peaks in this period as residents look for home-based wellness alternatives. Outside burning season, weekly and bi-weekly regular clients are the dominant pattern.
