The Bolaven Plateau volcanic field likely buries the impact crater that produced the tektites of the Australasian strewn field. It is the only adequately large and thick postimpact deposit on the Khorat Plateau, the largest region of plausible target rocks. It is also the only thick, postimpact deposit within the inner Muong Nong strewn field, the region containing exclusively nonaerodynamically shaped Muong-Nong-type tektites (circumscribed by the blue ellipse). Tektite find locations data from ref. 52 and this study. Basalt fields adapted with permission of ref. 53 and ref. 54; permission conveyed through Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. Outline of the Khorat Plateau data from ref. 55. Inset, finds of Australasian tektites and microtektites data from ref. 56 (white dots) define an asymmetric strewn field (blue).

That’s really not that long ago...in the 4 billion years scheme of things.
