As Thailand enters its annual period of elevated PM2.5 air pollution, health authorities continue to report a rise in respiratory infections and related illnesses. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, poses significant health risks, particularly to children, the elderly, and individuals with underlying conditions.
In response to these growing health concerns, AXA Insurance Thailand is encouraging the public to take proactive steps to safeguard their respiratory health, alongside ensuring adequate financial protection through accessible health coverage solutions.
During episodes of high air pollution, individuals are advised to:
- Monitor daily air quality index (AQI) levels and limit outdoor activities when pollution is high
- Wear properly fitted N95 or equivalent masks when outdoors
- Keep windows closed and use air purifiers indoors where possible
- Maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection
- Strengthen immunity through balanced nutrition, adequate hydration, regular sleep, and exercise in safe indoor environments
- Seek medical consultation promptly if experiencing persistent coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or unusual fatigue
While environmental conditions may be challenging, increasing awareness and adopting preventive measures can significantly reduce health risks.
To further support individuals and families during this period, AXA Insurance Thailand offers "AXA Hello Health" — an affordable insurance plan providing comprehensive coverage for 21 common infectious diseases, including acute respiratory infections and other acute infectious conditions, as well as accidents. Available to both Thai citizens and foreign residents in Thailand, the plan can be purchased easily online with no medical check-up required, and your policy is delivered instantly to your email upon completion.
"Air pollution remains a recurring health challenge in Thailand. At AXA, we are committed to helping people better prepare for health uncertainties through both preventive awareness and accessible protection solutions," said Paweena Khemarangsan, Chief Customer Officer of AXA Insurance Thailand. "AXA Hello Health is designed to deliver practical, affordable coverage with convenient healthcare access — giving customers greater peace of mind throughout high-risk seasons."
As an added benefit exclusively for AXA Health customers, telehealth services are now available through the "Doctor Anywhere" app, enabling cashless online doctor consultations and medication delivery within three hours across the Bangkok area — ensuring timely, hassle-free medical care. Customers can also conveniently submit claims and manage their policies via "AXA TH Health" mobile application, which provides access to the company's extensive nationwide network of healthcare providers. Together, these initiatives reflect AXA's ongoing commitment to delivering a seamless, comprehensive, and customer-centric healthcare experience.
