webfact Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 By Natcha Patanasophon Hoteliers and hospitality workers said on Tuesday that an oil spill in Rayong is dampening the tourism sentiment in the tourist resort of Koh Samet and urged the government to mitigate the damage as quickly as possible. Koh Samet, just off the coast of Rayong, has seen oil slicks stain its beaches as a result of an underwater pipeline rupture last Tuesday. The pipeline is owned by the Star Petroleum Refining Company. On Friday, the leaked oil reached Mae Rampueng seashore in Rayong. The main mass of oil is now heading to Ao Prao, a small bay on Samet Island, according to local news reports.

Spraying chemicals to sink it to the sea bed out of sight doesn't seem to be covering up the mess. You can't sweep oil under the carpet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 You can add a Zero to this figure; this oil aint going anywhere for a while ....... Just wondering now, how the TAT boys are juggling up some other marketing splash for them to look brilliantly great - as usual! Welcome to Thai beaches, the tan oil is here already (or something along this line)? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoon Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Last weeks announcements, that the slick would be gone in 7-10 days, failed to mention that it would be all over the beaches instead. Edited February 2, 2022 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I doubt the ripoff ATK tests are helping either. "Come to Rayong and pay to have a stick shoved up your nose and a wade in crude oil". Now I'm no marketing guru but I reckon I've seen better campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I really cant understand this. The government gave public assurances that no oil would come ashore. Why can't holiday makers believe them.....???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
