Living in clean air is essential to the health and wellbeing of your family. Clean water is easy to control with the right filtration system, but clean air can only be achieved by selecting the right land to build on. Unfortunately, in many places in Thailand, the locals tend to burn their garbage. If you build your villa outside of the security of a gated estate, you will likely encounter this unfortunate culture clash. We recommend choosing a plot inside a gated estate and facing a sea breeze for the absolute best air in the world.
