Thailand Faces Worsening Air Pollution: PM2.5 Levels Alarmingly High
Picture courtesy of Thaipost Thailand continues to struggle with critical air pollution, as PM2.5 levels exceed safety standards in 61 provinces. According to the Pollution Control Department, stagnant air and atmospheric conditions akin to a lid are trapping pollutants, worsening air quality particularly in Bangkok and the northern regions. As of March 24, the 24-hour average concentration of PM2.5 particles ranged from 15 to a staggering 132.8 µg/m³ across affected areas, far surpassing the safe standard of 37.5 µg/m³. Bangkok, Pathum Thani, Chiang Mai, and many other provinces are witnessing dangerous pollution levels that pose significant health risks. Northern Thailand is particularly affected, recording levels up to 132.8 µg/m³, while northeastern areas report figures between 50.2 and 130.1 µg/m³. Central and eastern regions aren't spared either, with readings reaching up to 115.0 µg/m³. In contrast, the south maintains air quality within safe limits. Forecasts from March 25 to March 31 indicate an upward trend in PM2.5 levels, with specific increases anticipated in 17 northern provinces and parts of the northeastern and eastern regions. Bangkok's air quality is also expected to worsen. The situation has prompted calls for reduced outdoor activities and the use of protective gear, especially for those with existing health issues. Residents in severely affected areas are advised to minimise outdoor exposure and consult healthcare professionals if symptoms arise. Criticism has been levied against government responses, with allegations of ineffective measures and data manipulation. For real-time updates, residents can rely on Air4Thai.com and airbkk.com, or their respective applications, to stay informed about current air quality conditions. The persistent pollution highlights the urgent need for comprehensive strategies and effective governance to tackle this environmental crisis, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-25 -

Visa-free stay in Thailand to be cut to 30 days
Yes, while it's disappointing that Vietnam didn't extend their visa exempt program to more countries, that they give 45 days to many Europeans wouldn't make Thailand look good in comparison if they revert to 30 days. -
