Hundreds of beachside businesses claim compensation over oil spill impacts

[snoop1130]

 

Rayong’s Muang district officials started receiving claims for compensation today (Tuesday), from business people affected by the recent oil spill, as health officials took blood and urine samples from 241 people involved in last week’s clean-up of the oil for tests.

 

More than 200 business operators, including resort and food shop owners, showed up to register for compensation from a mobile unit sent to Mae Ram Phueng beach by the Damrongtham Centre of the Rayong’s Muang district office to receive claims on the spot.

 

It is not known how much compensation each will receive, but all of them have been affected by room cancellations and the disappearance of tourists, especially during the Chinese New Year festival.

You betcha! Every island resort in Thailand from those facing Cambodia to Phuket facing the Andaman Sea will want a slice of this.

I'm sure those with connections will be compensated, the rest will go swivel.

Why would you need to take blood and urine samples from volunteers ?

A half litre of free blood for the extractor to sell on to a private hospital at a nice profit, the rest is just taking the p**s.

Hey all those environmentalists and anti oil protester people around the world, could

travel to Samet and clean the beach. 555. I am 100 percent sure, that they are all just way to busy 

to do that though.  It will take quite a while to clean up that amount of oil, and it will likely come

ashore for several weeks yet. I feel for all the businesses that are affected by this mess.

Since when is Rayong part of Southern Thailand? ????
