Chiang Mai’s Burning Season Survey Results 2018

Recently, in advance of 2018’s so-called “burning season” in Chiang Mai, Iglu hosted a community event that saw many of the city’s digital expats and nomads coming together to support a good cause. While at the event, Iglu set up a survey to ask attendees two questions:

• “Are you leaving Chiang Mai in the coming days/weeks because of ‘burning season’?”
• “If so, where are you going?”

The results are in, and you may be surprised!

63.64% of respondents said that they were staying in Chiang Mai during the “burning season.”
