If you’re like us, you probably woke up, opened up the blinds, and loudly exclaimed, “What on Earth is that?” The intense smog is no joke, and here are some home gadgets to help combat PM2.5.
The bane of every Bangkokian’s existence is PM2.5, a recurring problem for the city and its inhabitants whenever the new year rolls around. It gets much worse every year, and it’s no different in 2025. Schools have been ordered to close and employees told to work from home. If that doesn’t signal just how bad the air is, even train and bus fares have been made free for a week in an effort to encourage public transportation.
The problem shows no signs of stopping for now. Thai Enquirer has reported that this “smog season” will last until March. Although there’s been an improvement in the air quality this Monday morning along with cooler temepratures, there’s no telling how long it will last, if at all. That said, it’s best to be prepared and the gadgets listed here could alleviate some of the troubles that come with the city’s smog-ridden air. Here are 10 gadgets to help combat PM2.5.
