First of all, early yesterday morning, I tried to check out of the Riverside Hotel in Saiyoke, but it was 7:00 in the morning and no one was around. I knocked on the house next to the gate and asked to check out, and a woman's voice said something in Thai, but I couldn't understand it. A car arrived shortly after, so I had no choice but to leave my room key in the reception door. I had found the key in the same place when I came back late the night before when the door was closed.

I had breakfast with a Russian elder couple who also join on a field trip. They showed me a picture of such a poisonous snake in the hotel room on the campus where they stayed. By the way, there are no elephants on this campus, but P Sensei, who took care of me, told me that some people have seen a tiger. He said it was just a "rumor"!?

Here is a picture of it. You can see that it is quite elongated. According to Prof. Prinya, some of them are up to 5 cm long.

It's quite well. I'm going to take some of them home and polish them. I am very happy to find fossils like this early in the morning.

Jackfruit I got back to the car. The unique crispy flavor and sweetness are quite delicious.

Next is a limestone cave from the Middle to Late Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era. The cave has a very complex structure, including fault breccias and faults that cut through the breccias. A ranger will escort us inside the cave. The person sitting there is M san, a retired DMR employee. He have guided students of KVIS (Thai High School of Science), where I used to teach, who represented Thailand in the Thailand Olympics, at some of the places. He told me that he knew Dr.T, a chemistry teacher who also helped me at KVIS. I was surprised at this unexpected connection.

The ceiling, which is quite deep into the site, is covered with a magnificent fault breccias and a fault that cuts further into it. It is hard to see without illumination, though.

It is difficult to explain the structure in this way. M san, who is retired from the DMR and helped organize the World Geoscience Olympiad held in Thailand a few years ago, said he would like to submit a question for the Olympiad.

Lunch started at a nearby meeting place, where we opened the lunch boxes we had brought. The members of the university who take care of this area are very familiar with this area, and the side dishes and sticky rice are being laid out one after another. Needless to say, the public dogs (or rather, the more well-behaved of the stray dogs) gathered at the foot of the table, waiting for their handouts.

This is a rather muddy middle Triassic chert layer casually folded at the site we visited this afternoon. This one actually contains something extraordinary.
