Bangkok Braces for Rising PM2.5 Levels as December Smog Season Begins

Bangkok residents were advised to prepare for worsening air quality as PM2.5 concentrations are expected to surge during early December. Authorities warned that calm winds and cool weather could trap pollution over the capital for several days. Vulnerable groups were urged to limit outdoor activity, especially in the mornings when haze tends to accumulate. The city announced that monitoring teams will be deployed to identify major pollution sources in high-risk districts. Officials said the public should stay updated through real-time air quality apps as conditions fluctuate.
