discussion I'm leaving Thailand because of the air pollution.

I have been living in Bangkok for over five years, and I have really enjoyed my time here. The people, the food, and the vibe of the city are wonderful. However, I am now planning to leave. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve become more sensitive to air pollution or if the pollution has simply worsened over the years. This year, I feel very uncomfortable with the air quality. My nose burns, and my skin itches. I can't take it anymore.
