Oil exploration off Samui

I choose this story because this story relates environment of Thailand, tourism destination and image of Thailand tourism, especially Samui island where is a well-known place in country and other country, and I have ever gone to Samui where is calm, noisy, gorgeous and nice condition, so I am interested in this news. Besides, Thailand tourism is an important factor which makes much money come to Thailand. This situation moderately affect this factor.

This news tells about the Energy Ministry Wannarat Charnnukul and government can not accept four
oil exploration concessions off Samui island because concessions do not practice or improve conducting that may have some effect to law or cause environment damaged. The information come from people who live in Samui and against concessions. They think concessions concern about economic and environmental damage. The four firm who have concessions are Chevron (Thailand), Salamander Energy (Bualuang), Nucoastal (Thailand) and Pearl Oil (Amata).

In my thought, oil exploration will have to make some bad effects to economy and environment, especially environment, because exploration have to dig, drill or something likes these. So if you explore nearby tourism places, it's sure that affect to tourism places. Besides, water is very good for liquid spread, if oil or chemical things fall into water, sea or ocean, it will spread quickly and give many effects to water living and nearby places. For example, fish, algae and birds that live closely water.
