My guess is the US will be invading shortly under false pretences.

 

And then have to sort out the mess. Thailand may benefit but for the US it would just be a costly ongoing liability.

Perhaps they should do a spectrographic  examination of the oil and find out where it originated from

 

First, spectography is 50 years away until Thai science invents it and secondly the conclusion would be from a big oil can, container or drum.

Does Halliburton have operations in that area?  Or maybe Boeing?

Oil is less buoyant which is why it floats on top of water...

 

More buoyant due to lower specific density I think you will find. 

Punch holes in the tanks' sides and let the oil run out onto the troubled waters hereabouts.
