    PTT oil slick spreads to Koh Samet beachfront

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    Just got back from Ao Phrao an hour ago, I thought this was a fuss over nothing when I went to a few of the beaches on Samet this morning, absolutely no trace of any oil, went to Saikeaw (the most popular beach), went swimming at the beautiful Ao Luk Yon, and all up the North coast and saw nothing untoward.

    The whole of Ao Phrao is covered in black sludge. There is a large clear up operation under way, however in my opinion it seems like lots of manpower and not much in the way of proper equipment (on the beach at least).In the distance there is a clear line where the oil stops, so I would imagine that it is fairly well contained in Ao Phrao and my guess is that it will not spread to any other beaches.

    Whilst in Laos on a visa run a couple of weeks ago my phone was unceremoniously snatched from me in a restaurant near the Thai embassy, my phone has GPS tracking on it which has been waiting until the phone has become activated. This has happened today, and the phone is in this location:

    I'm unable to post links but if you search for 17.973123 102.630849 in Google maps it will appear, it doesn't seem as if it's got too far since it was taken.

    Anyone know where that is? Anyway knowing is half the battle and now I'd like to attempt to get it back, but I can't get up there myself for some time.

    Anybody have some advice on how I can go about getting it back? Should I go to the police or be looking for a vigilante?!

    Thanks in advance for any assistance,

    Chris
