I’m not trying to play this down, obviously any amount of oil spilled is not a good thing, but 50,000 liters amounts to less than two standard tanker truck loads, so in the grand scheme of things, it’s really not going to have that much of an effect on the coastline.

If there were some way to measure it, I’d bet everything I have, that motorcycle mechanics dump more oil down storm drains in an average month.

Nah, burnt engine oil is worth too much secondhand to waste dumping into the sewers

Impact of Tuesday’s oil spill off Rayong could be worse than in 2013

A massive oil spill of 400,000 litres off the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Rayong on Tuesday night led to concerns over its marine environmental impact with some fearing it could be much worse than the spill in 2013.

THAI NEWS REPORTS: The latest satellite image from 10:35am shows that the oil slick now covers an area of 51 square kilometres. The slick was only 7km from Koh Samet this morning. About 5km of Mae Ramphueng Beach is affected

You might have got me here, but is the infrastructure in place for them to recycle it outside of the cities?

I’ve seen people out in the countryside dumping used oil into open sewers before, and burning it, along with plastic bottles and tires too. Now that I think about it, I’ve watched people burn all sorts of things that should be worth money to recyclers, or just throw it into the river.

Well there are ignorant folk everywhere, but usually in countryside it goes into a drum and waits for the black oil buyer to come get it. 30l burned/old engine oil fetches like 600B

Not ignorant just misinformed and or lack of education.

I'm not trying to play this up... but 50,000 litres is more than four largest size tanker truck loads.

(The Bangkok Post and others are quoting 160,00 litres, but it was deep submerged and continued for at least 24 hours so we don't really know)

In the grand scheme of things.. these constant incremental death events have a devastating effect on the health and marine life of the Gulf.

lol. You are obviously a "glass only half full of oil" kinda guy, Ryan.
Such optimism is (usually) admirable.

I'm more of a "the glass is half full of fucking oil" man myself.
