We did that for about a month in 2015; made it for Songkran. It was pretty great. Frustrating with time zones and car pollution, but otherwise solid. Ristr8to r

  As far as I know the air pollution in Thailand is largely attributed to forest fires rather than vehicle emissions [0]. Funny enough, this also seems to be the case for Portland, Oregon [1].

    "Car Pollution" may be a term for encompassing all the negative externalities caused by cars near people. Crash risk, reduced walkability and cyclability, noise pollution, increased sedentism, higher housing costs (due to parking minimums, car-friendly zoning,) etc. For instance, I'd love to let my kid ride a bike to school. I don't because of cars (well, drivers, really). That's a form of pollution, in a sense.
