Footage shows how clean the air is after three months of coronavirus lockdown in Bangkok, Thailand.<br /><br />The tropical skyline was clouded in a toxic smog made of harmful PM2.5 particles at the start of the year, caused by construction, cars and agricultural fires.<br /><br />However, with many projects on hold and builders sent back home to neighbouring countries, pollution has dropped. <br /><br />A blanket ban on tourists since the end of March - which is still active - has also decimated the number of cars, taxis, minivans and coaches on the road. <br /><br />Astonishing footage taken this morning (June 30) in the Huai Khwang district of the capital shows the striking difference. <br /><br />The tiny PM2.5 particles which remain trapped in the atmosphere and had caused tens of thousands of residents to suffer with respiratory problems have all but disappeared.<br /><br />While the clear skies allow views stretching miles across the flat landscape. <br /><br />Thailand has not recorded any new locally transmitted cases of Covid-19 for more than a month. Officials have eased restrictions with strip clubs and soapy massage parlours finally allowed to open from July 1, however, international tourist are still banned.
