Air pollution levels have soared this week in Bangkok, Thailand, as farmers begin burning waste crops.

The toxic smog - combined with low levels of rain and wind in the atmosphere - leads to clouds covering the capital city.

Thailand's Centre for Air Pollution Mitigation (CAPM) said the haze would blanket Bangkok all week.

Levels of harmful PM 2.5 particles in the air have exceeded the safe threshold all week.

CAPM spokesman Siwat Pongpaichan said: ''Sugar prices are lucrative at the moment so farmers are rushing to harvest their crop by burning to save cutting costs. We expect to see unhealthy levels of PM2.5 across the capital and surrounding provinces for at least three days.''
