The size of the oil slick off of Koh Samet’s Phrao Bay decreased from nine square kilometers yesterday to five square kilometers today, according to satellite imagery.
A satellite photo of the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (Gitsda), obtained today at 6:09am, revealed that the oil film shrank in size and thickness, raising the possibility that the muck would not reach up to other surrounding islands – Koh Pla Teen, Koh Kham and Koh Kudi.
The remaining oil film still covers the Northern and Northeastern part of Koh Samet.
