For the methodology, closed-ended questions were raised with two quotations and the willingness to pay (WTP) was assessed through the Double Bounded Logit Model. A questionnaire was used as a research tool to collect data from the sample of 564 households in Bangkok. The research results showed that the households’ willingness to pay for personal protective equipment was 6,124.89 baht/household/year, or 16,857 million baht/year and the willing to pay more for 1 μg reduction in PM<sub>2.5</sub> was 18,946.87 million baht/year, or 6,402 baht/household/year. The determinants of the willingness to pay were the number of days of exercise of being more than 5 days/week, the number of household members, income and the impact of air pollution.All 4 factors were positively correlated to the willingness to pay with a statistical significance level. 2 factors, including number of children in the household and number of elderly in the household, were negatively correlated to the willingness to pay with a statistical significance level.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Buddhist Education and Research}, author={Naranuphap, Saowalak and Attavanich, Witsanu}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={295–30} }
