Don't look at Chiang Mai.
In the parts of Bangkok where I live/visit it has been unseasonably cool, clear, breezy, smog-free the last two days, but the situation can be highly variable, and various "government authorities" had been forecasting a return of very bad smog/haze.
No way to know what it might be like in one day, let alone one week. Bring masks to be safe, then use them or not. Up to you.

Chiang Mai air pollution worst in the world
Forest fires have sent air quality in nine provinces to a level considered harmful to people's health, as cities in the North like Chiang Mai registered air quality that was among the world's worst.
The air quality index (AQI) in Chiang Mai as of 4am Tuesday stood at 230, compared with 170 in the Bangladesh capital Dhaka and 164 in Kabul, Afghanistan, according to Air Visual, an app that monitors air quality.
