Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-crested Myna sighting in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, based on 386 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 66th most-seen of the 244 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-crested Myna in Cat Tien National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month. Those are among Cat Tien National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 490 mm in July.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-crested Myna sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Golden-crested Myna sightings, Cat Tien National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%) and Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-crested Myna is recorded against all the birds logged in Cat Tien National Park (386 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
