BANGKOK — Thailand's navy and pollution experts battled Thursday (Jan 27) to clear up an oil spill close to pristine holiday beaches, after an undersea pipeline leaked up to 50 tonnes of crude.

The kingdom's Pollution Control Department has warned that the spill in the Gulf of Thailand, about 20 kilometres off the coast of Rayong province, could threaten a national park in nearby Ko Samet island.

Star Petroleum Refining Public Company Limited, which operates the pipeline, said the spill volume was between 20 and 50 tonnes — around 22,000 to 60,000 litres.
