ham Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 A while ago I learnt something about acticvities on the island going on regarding the corals, the water and so on. People (local on Ko Phangan) were invited to join some information evening. I have received this 3-fold (CHEVRON) from somebody a bit worried about the ongoing. Since I found this on facebook, and that it shows that it is public now, and also seen on Ko Samui in the "samui express" (link below) here also a scan from this brochure in Thai. May someone can translate? http://news.samuiexpress.net/oil-explorati...id-opposed.html I wonder who else heard about that topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I did, but the project was presented under a different light. All operations were to be based at Thai Sala,with the building of a new terminal there.So if you really look at it it's not that far from here is it.You can see the Kanom power station from the south of the island. I really don't what the opposition can do at this stage, of what I understand the green light was given & they have acquired a substantial parcel of land some time back " last year?" & supposed to be operational within 2 years. Maybe I'm talking about a different thing all together here, but I have a suspicion it's all related.There was some discussion about this in the Southern Thailand forum, some time back.

Mark Wolfe Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I would imagine these are exploring for gas, not oil, but I could be wrong not having the seismic data or the geology information. But for reasons too lengthy to go into here, gas makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
