via Bangkok Post, 17 May 2024: Excavations in Khao Khom Cave, Satun province, have uncovered prehistoric human remains and tools. The article provides a date of 10,000 years but I don’t see any good scientific basis for this arbitrary date. Led by a spelunker, the exploration revealed skeleton fragments, including nearly perfect lower molars, suggesting the cave was an ancient cemetery.
Human remains and tools believed to date back 10,000 years have been found inside Khao Khom Cave in Khuan Kalong district.
The discovery followed a project led by Kamponsak Sassadee, a renowned spelunker, to explore the cave, known as one of the longest in this southern province and one with the most abundant cave diversity.
Their initial surveys found traces of human existence at the entrances, according to Mr Kamponsak.
