Oil exploration off Samui to go ahead: Energy minister


Energy Minister Wannarat Charnukul said Friday that the ministry could not terminate the four oil exploration concessions off the Samui resort island as demanded by local residents.
Wannarat explained that the concession holders have not breached the laws and have not caused serious environmental damage so far so the concessions could not be terminated.
