Re: Koh Samet oil spill effects to be felt for weeks (PM Friday, 02 August 2013) – Maybe it could be time for really caring about Samet Island. Deemed a ‘natural reserve’ with a 200Bht admission fee, I could witness (2005) a lot of building materials left in open air along the way to the hilltop behind my resort. And dozens of mofa bike tires (= thin ones, that cannot be used as boat fenders, so why are there so many?) lying on the seabed… which is, by the way, very poor in terms of marine life. PTT has to repair the initial & subsequent damages, but Thai administration has to really do its duty too. May Thailand get out of infancy and be governed as a modern country.
