we had the same problem at Kanom beach last year, was all over the sand and our feet were covered in it when we walked away, was all over the tidal section so we realized that someone had spilled or deliberately dumped a lot of  oil at sea

some thai probably dumped their waste oil out at sea.  they don't care about pollution, noise or the environment.

Has to be the Thais, doesn't it.

I used to go to Malta every year in the 90s and exactly the same there, particularly  when windy the oil can travel a long way.

What's that, no wind  in Phuket.

A group called Sustainable Mai Khao was checking one of the northwestern beaches in the national park Friday afternoon and found first a long oil slick, and then "sticky tar balls". So far reported in local English news at 6 beaches, as far south as Patong.

Officials from the Andaman Maritime Traffic and Safety Control Center and the 3rd Naval Area are tracking ship activity along the west coast in recent days in an effort to pinpoint the offending vessel(s)...

 

 

Beaches in the northwestern part of the island including Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan all experienced pollutants being washed ashore in the past few days, with further reports on social media of Patong Beach being impacted late yesterday (Aug 5).

It prompted an extensive clean-up operation yesterday across a 10-kilometre span covering Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan Beaches where teams consisting of National Park officials, lifeguards and volunteers pitched in to clear the pollutants and any other debris from the respective beaches.

There were also several instances where wildlife had been impacted and rescued by beachgoers who then passed the stricken animals onto officials who meticulously cleaned them and nursed them back to health. A baby turtle and a bird were just two such examples.

The clean-ups continued today as authorities maintained a “no-swim” zone order at Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Nai Thon and Layan beaches in order to ensure the safety of swimmers.
