Abstract

The Khao Thalai area of Chanthaburi Province is made of prominent NNW-SSE trending ridges in the surrounding flat plain. Field observations and kinematic interpretation were used to reconstruct the structural style and palaeo-stress history of the area, which is composed of a series of NW-SE to WSWENE trending rotated normal fault, a large NNW-SSE strike-slip fault and a series of NW-SE thrust faults. Overall, there are least three episode of deformation and the kinematic history of these features supports the existing regional structure model.
