Sam Phran in Nakhon Prathom, Thailand, ranked first as the most polluted city in the country as of June 2024. In comparison, Bang Lamung in Chon Buri was the city with the best air quality in the country during that same period.
The period of January to April is famously known as the haze season in the mountainous part of northern Thailand, also known as the burning season. This problem occurs annually and has significantly affected the northern and central region. One of the primary sources of the particles is the practice of farmers burning fields in order to prepare the land for the next crop. Despite the impact of the haze season in the north, the air quality in northern Thailand is likely to have improved compared to previous years in terms of the level of PM2.5.
