Geothermal Energy Potential in Thailand
Major fault zones and hot springs
in Thailand
Location of 50 geothermal areas
in northern Thailand
More than 90 hot springs with surface
temperature ranging from 400 to 1000 C are scattered
throughout the country. These geothermal areas are
evidently associated with granitic rocks of various
ages and major faults nearby. Most of them are manifested
by hot pools and seepages although some are by hot
springs and geysers.
Although a number of hot springs are
found in other rocks, their geographic positions
are never located far beyond 25 km from granitic
plutons (Ratanasthien and others, 1985). It has
also been suggested that these associations limit
the areas of high density as well as high potential
geothermal resources to northern Thailand where
almost half of the total area is covered by granites
and related rocks.
Exploration results indicate the existence
of potentially shallow reservoir at depth less than
200 m.
