Nga Chang Supergroup Gr
Type Locality and Naming
Synonym: กลุม่หินสตูล
[Figure: Approximate correlation of measured sections within the Nga Chang Supergroup in Lower Peninsular Thailand. (a) Laem Thap in Nakhon Sithammarat Province (based on Lumjuan, 1993); (b) Laem Thap, same as ‘a’ (based on Chaodumrong et al., 2007); (c) Ko Phi Phi in Krabi Province (after Waterhouse, 1982); (d) Ko Muk in Trang Province (after Waterhouse, 1982); (e) Ban Kan Rae in Songkhla Province (after Fujikawa et al., 2005); (f) Thung Wa–Langu road in Satun Province (after Wongwanich et al., 2002); (g) and (h) Khuan Khi Ma and Khuan Sung in Satun Province (see Fig. 5; after DMR, 2004); (i) Pulau Ular, Langkawi, Malaysia (after Stauffer and Lee, 1986). The vertical relationship of one section to another is speculative and so therefore is the total thicknesses of the Kaeng Krachan Gr (Ridd. 2009).]
Lithology and Thickness

(a) Khuan Khi Ma, about 5 km WNW of Satun town; (b) Khuan Sung, about 3.5 km WSW of Satun town. Figure is From Ridd (2009), which was redrawn from DMR (2004).]
