Satellite images from 10.16am Sundayshowed no sign of oil on Thailand’s Mae Ram Phueng beach or in the sea close to Khao Laem Ya-Moo Koh Samet national park, but officials have expressed concern that the remaining spilled oil may be heading toward Ao Prao on Samet Island.

 

Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Varawut Silpa-archa, has ordered all units to be on standby to prevent the remaining oil from washing ashore.

 

He noted that Ao Prao is about 500 metres wide and attempts must be made to prevent the oil from entering the area or the beach.
