Xu (NAOC) report on behalf of a large collaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of EP240506a (Li et al., GCN 36405) using the 0.7-m telescope of the Thai Robotic Telescope network (TRT), located at Springbrook Observatory, New South Wales, Australia. Observations started at 09:53:36.57 UT on 2024-05-07, i.e., 1.20 day after the EP trigger, and 6 x 300 s R-band and 6 x 300 s I-band frames were obtained, respectively.\n\nNo uncatalogued optical transient is detected in the stacked R-band and I-band images within the 3 arcmin EP/WXT error circle (Li et al., GCN 36405), down to 3-sigma limiting magnitudes of R ~ 21.6 and I ~ 21.0, calibrated with Pan-STARRS sources in the field. Also there is no apparent brightening for the catalogued sources within the error circle.",
