Ao Phrao was closed and tourists moved away from the popular island beach on Khao Laem Ya-Mu Koh Samet National Park after an oil slick washed ashore on Sunday night, coating the area with gooey muck.
Work crews were on Monday still trying to clean the crude oil from the sandy beach and the waters of the usually picturesque sandy beach and bay on the western part of the island.
Samet park chief Sumet Saithongsaid on Monday confirmed the beach was temporarily closed and tourists had been evacuated.
Other parts of the island have not affected by the slick, the park chief said.
The crude oil leaked from an offshore pipeline at a refinery operated by PTT Global Chemical Plc (PTTGC) in Map Ta Phut industrial estate in Rayong province early Saturday morning. Navy soldiers and company work gangs have been struggling to contain it, despite reporting early success.
The oil slick was caused by a leak in the pipe, which was carrying crude being unloaded by an offshore tanker, about 6.50am on Saturday.
