PM2.5 In Bangkok, Thailand
The morning sunrise behind the cityscape of Bangkok, Thailand, on January 30, 2026, is shrouded in a thick blanket of dust and pollution, reflected in the Chao Phraya River during the early hours. Heavy air pollution, laden with fine particulate matter (PM2.5), creates a hazy and oppressive atmosphere over the city. (Photo by Piti Anchaleesahakorn/NurPhoto)
