Last month, pollution has been talk of the town, appearing on the front pages of newspapers and within practically every Bangkokian’s social media news feed.
And unfortunately, the news seems to be getting worse.
Aside from a proposal to wash away air particles via rain-making and suggestions to wear masks, there doesn’t seem to be much that most people can do, at least in the short-term, to address the situation and keep themselves safe. The Bangkok government seems to admit as much, suggesting that the problem would be solved 11 years into the future.
Obviously, that is a bit too late for most city dwellers...
