March 23, 201213 yr This is oil that i picked up walking along Lipa Noi between the boat ramp before Nikki Beach and no further that Lovely Lipa Resort. I had no idea, until I left the beach and moved on round to Taling Ngam beach that my feet were covered in it. I didn't see it in the water or on the beach, there was a light north easterly breeze, shallows a little choppy and the sand in the shallows just seemed a little churned up by current. I've a keen eye and am taking notice of conditions, this was not physically visible until later. Can anyone shed any light on this?
March 23, 201213 yr Occasionally have come across globules of oil/tar in the Choeng Mon area, and always assumed they were something tossed overboard from a local boat?
March 24, 201213 yr oh.... sh--t e!!!! Now we know why they don't want oil drilling around the islands......
March 24, 201213 yr Happens occasionally on the beaches around the island. Seen it mostly after stormy days.
March 24, 201213 yr Author Yes. It's Oil. Next question Yes I know it's oil, that is why i said "This is oil" that wasn't my question. Trying to find out if anyone may know where it was coming from
March 24, 201213 yr oh.... sh--t e!!!! Now we know why they don't want oil drilling around the islands...... Absolutely nothing to do with oil drilling. It's oil/grease from fishing boats.
March 24, 201213 yr Yes. It's Oil. Next question Yes I know it's oil, that is why i said "This is oil" that wasn't my question. Trying to find out if anyone may know where it was coming from Whatever
March 24, 201213 yr I picked up some oil on my feet and hands at Lipa beach a week ago while coming out of the water, just like the pics, never saw it coming. I believe the oil was in the water

March 24, 201213 yr Queen Elizabeth ...bah.... It has to be ''residue'' picked up from one of those Nikki Beach parties. From what I have heard most people attending are ''well oiled'' by the end of the night
March 24, 201213 yr Could be 1 of many factors: 1) Bangkok airways? 2) Chaweng Jetskis 3) the new jetlev water flyer 4) Most likely is that it was the black flipflops you were wearing had melted in this heat.
