The Permo-Carbonigferous Facies Development in Thailand: A plate tectonic discussion [PDF]
, 1989 The Permo-Carboniferous sedimentary facies development in Thailand reflects the late Variscan orogeny in S E Asia. During the Carboniferous and Permian, a N -S trending trough separated the " S h a n Thai Craton" and the "Indosinia Craton".
