I agree with the majority of people.  The air is bad in Bangkok.

The air is awful, and it is nothing new.

In Phrom Phongse Sukhumvit area - internal house detectors all show zero PM2.5 right now

#2 is the Onnut Dump - a frequent contributor to pollution
#1 is ?  Just somebody lighting up for 20 minutes or so.

 

I wonder how many of these places burn at night??  I guess we will know more when night numbers start to spike again

And today, 2nd day of a holiday weekend with an empty city so obviously traffic not the primary cause.

So there are only two options:

All the farmers in Bangkok are burning their rice-, sugar cane- etc. straw these days.

Or, the air pollution might travel into Bangkok from somewhere.

 

2 possibilities: from left/west, India. 

From north east/right from China.

We should be happy, it's not too bad in the moment...

From all directions around Bangkok depending on winds of the day and from Thai Sugar Cane burning.  This is most likely a Thai issue curranty.  It is not China or India or the normal fall guy Indonesia.

May be, of course, today.

 

I saw these grey/dark clouds  coming from NE already in November.

Now they are here, they build a layer(?) to all the other influences.

 

What do you think?

 

 

 

No, it's not only this sugar cane burning etc. ...

Not in other countries or all the time but currently that is the main issue in Bangkok.  India and China have always had huge issues (I have lived in both and Beijing in winter you could not see across the street due to open coal burning as far back as the 70's).
