About 20 members of the 'Stop Fracking Thailand Network' rallied outside the US Embassy in Bangkok yesterday to protest against chemical fracking in Thailand.

Two network representatives, Rangsit University professor Dr Smith Tungkasmit and Pipat Samanchuen, were allowed to enter the premises to hand a letter to Eric Frater, first secretary of the economic section of the embassy demanding US authorities to encourage an investigation into several fracking companies and stop them using the chemical hydraulic fracturing system.

After handing in the letter, Smith said the embassy promised to investigate this matter and would discuss it with the US companies within seven days.
