BANGKOK: Authorities in Thailand's capital warned people to wear face masks or stay indoors during the weekend after choking air pollution returned to Bangkok following months of clear air in one of the world's top tourist destinations.

The national Pollution Control Department issued the warning as the amount of hazardous dust particles known as PM 2.5 exceeded the safe level in three areas around the capital.

Thursday and Friday morning's AQI was 170, according to airvisual.com, which measures levels in cities worldwide. No cause was given for the deterioration in the air quality, which tends to get worse in the dry season from December to April.
